Managed to upload my "Wasted Time" diary - it was extremely thought-provoking, and with reason I've put the title in brackets. I find anything I have recorded in this diary, and anything that would be recorded somewhere, clearly engages you physically and mentally, which automatically eliminates the concept of 'wasted time' as you are being proactive in some shape or form. However, one can still regard this in terms of prioritising activities in which the idea of 'procrastination' feels like a waste of time, as one is aware of other things that could be done that are personally regarded as more important.
Personally, I keep myself busy at all times and feel like I am always being proactive - even in my leisure time. Leisure time can certainly be something you work towards, so that you get to work during that time. Makes sense or nah? Okay, lets look at this; Monday, 21st of April 2014, I visited my friend and her baby cousin. Spending time with friends is regarded by most as leisure time, for sure. However, the only way possible for me to do this was to work to gain money for travel, complete the journey (about 1hour - walk, bus, train, walk) and once finally arrived at destination (so leisure time with friend), I am 'working' again by paying attention to my and my friends behaviour with the baby (to learn=work?). Can we ever escape working towards anything? In conclusion, of that day, I felt my leisure time was spent learning, which of course is a positive thing.
If someone would (hypothetically) relax in bed all day, are they working in this time of leisure? Or is this mere thought of escapism still work, even if physical and possibly mental exhaustion is prevented / kept to the minimal?
I can't see myself not being proactive in my leisure time! Even if I am 'relaxing', I have worked towards that time, creating a private space for myself, even then I might get an unwanted distraction, or I get distracted and fall out of my relaxing and 'non-working' space. Sigh.
