In other words, what do you do in your free time?
- kamaal 14y ago>>In other words, what do you do in your free time? To make 'free time' work economically viable. You have to do it full time. And to win doing it full time, you will have to work crazy hours. At that stage it no longer remains enjoyable. People enjoy the 'free time' work because it comes with some mental perks. No fear or losing something on failure. Risks are cheap, having options to always drop it and do something else. None of that is possible if 'free time' work becomes full time work.

I fight this perception of myself and others because it ultimately does not benefit me -- I'd be working hard either way. No need to pile my identity onto it.
