As a person who was under the impression they were having a productive weekend but who is somehow writing an answer on HN now...! Personally I would describe productive time as * Anything which isn't consuming media, whether it's movies/tv shows/Reddit/HN/gaming. Then starting with the obvious "gotta do it" or "good for you" stuff. * Just finished doing my taxes * Cleaning your place, organizing your things * Cooking / Meal Prep * Working Out * Seeing friends & family And then I'd separate any efforts made towards personal development and in pursuit of goals you've set, separated into two main categories. 1) Learning (Coding, How to do a rubiks cube, anything really which requires concentration and effort) 2) Creating (Any side project, personal business, home improvement, etc.) These categories are broad enough to include pretty much everything. Any mix of these activities in which I minimize the consuming media part, I'm happy with.
