I keep a daily timesheet and a bi-weekly timesheet at work. The bi-weekly one works like every other one at any other job, and the daily one basically keeps track of what I do during the day. Recently, I found myself completing my daily timesheet in the morning, as to outline what projects I would work on during the 8 hour shift. It helps the time go by faster.
But then I had a sudden thought today: there are only 24 hours in a day with 8 hours at work and close to 8 hours dedicated to sleep (so that I could wake up and spend another 8 hours at work). That leaves only 8 hours of "free time" in which I can do whatever I want.
Only 8 hours of free time?
It seems like a reasonable amount of time for running errands, hanging out with friends, etc., etc. But honestly, what if I break down my (approximately) 8 hours of free time like I do with my daily timesheet? It's practically no time at all!! A couple hours doing this, a few hours doing that, and poof, time for bed. How devastating! I really feel like I'm being robbed of my freedom.
My solution? TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY MEASLY 8 HOURS OF FREE TIME. I'm really glad I have yoga, but I want more. And I'm kinda leaning toward either joining 24 or a boxing gym. Why am I deciding to exercise in my free time? Because it makes me happy. And I would gladly spend all 24 hours of the day doing something that makes me happy.
