How do you spend your spare time?
Spare time? You might say, “I don’t really have spare time.”
I get it. Even our spare time doesn’t really feel “spare.” It’s typically all already spoken for.
So instead of spare, what if we borrowed a term from personal finance term like “cash-on-hand?”
When and how much time to do have after everything you HAVE to do is done? This would be your time-on-hand. Then think for a moment, how do you spend it?
If you’re like me, some is spent on things I truly enjoy—running, cooking, and timing the kids to see how quickly they can tidy up and make their beds. Some evaporates while scrolling through social media. And the rest? I don’t know. I really don’t.
So, today’s journal prompt* is about bringing some awareness to how much spare time we have and how we’re spending it today. Then, the biggie: How would you like to spend your spare time?
What might you do this week to bring those two more in line?
“The best bridge between despair and hope is a good night’s sleep.”
