I’m just about to finish my degree before I start my honours and this will be my last ever ‘holiday.’ Today I got asked, “what are you going to do with your last holidays.” The question took me aback a little as I realised that this was actually really important, it’s the last time I’m going to have ‘nothing’ to do, and can spend all my time where I want to. My first thought was I want to write more often, and higher quality, which is good, my second is to get into the habit of meditating every day for an hour, but beyond that I didn’t have much.
This really made me think, how do I want to spend my time. I’ve spent the last few months writing posts about where I want to spend my time, how to maximise your time and how you should just do what you want; but when the time has come I’m a bit lost. I believe this is a classic case of where you simply have to do. I think there is no better way to learn about you more than having free time; the true priorities come out. You may spend your time watching youtube videos, you may start a business, you may read or study a lot.
I’m almost inclined not to schedule my days apart from a few things like writing and meditation and see where it takes me, seeing where my true priorities lie. This may be a recipe for disaster, but it’s an experiment I’m interested to try.
