if you're able to actually spend 1.5 hours every day working on an airplane, practicing guitar, or learning math, that's great! but for a lot of people (or just me at least), by the time they've worked eight hours, gone to the gym, and eaten dinner, they don't have a lot of energy left for practicing a skill or working on a side project. some people (possibly you) are still brimming with energy and curiosity and will keep working on stuff until late in the night.
what I'm trying to say is, not all hours are interchangeable in terms of opportunity cost. it should be okay to just be totally unproductive for one or two hours out of the days. not everyone can accomplish something meaningful in every single hour.
- JasonFruit 7y agoThat's certainly true, and I waste time, too. Everyone does. To me, if obviously not to everyone, doing some of these other things has been rejuvenating and energizing. It is okay to waste time, or fritter it away doing something you value and nobody else does; I felt it important to say, though, that I don't think this was a laudable achievement.
