    Start with a solid 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep! Then make myself a cup of coffee and finish it while it’s still hot while finishing my book! Then off to the library to get the next in the series and I pick up my dad for breakfast at a diner. Go home, and have a hot bath and start the next book. An afternoon quickie with my husband. Now I go to my sister’s house where our other sisters already are to make a puzzle. All the husbands and kids arrive but since my day is free and uninterrupted my parents are in charge of my baby while I cuddle my husband and we all play Jackbox until midnight .

      Your day is almost my perfect day! The sleep in. The diner - not doing a quickie with your guy though. I’m sure your dad is lovely, too.

      I need a sleep-in and a diner, actually. I miss Al’s diner in Jersey City.

    I’d have to try and get myself to stop procrastinating and get my English course work done, while failing and doing pretty much anything else, like finally watching season 4 of Wakfu.

    I’d probably lay on my sofa, mindlessly scrolling, beating myself up for not being more productive. It’s the ADHD way and there’s nothing you can do about it.

    I’ve been unemployed for the last few months. I’m single, no kids. I’ve had more of these 24 hrs of uninterrupted free time than I’d care for. Honestly, sounds wild, but I hate it now.

      I’ve been in that situation. At first it’s kinda nice being able to sleep in without worry for a little bit. But after a while it really starts to drive you crazy just not having anything to do with your time. That restlessness quickly turns into depression.

      I’ve been unemployed for around six months, that’s actually part of why I asked is to see what other people do with so much free time.

        I had this problem back in the great recession and joined habitat for humanity. Met some weirdos, was pretty good.

        New skills? I spend my free time contributing to FOSS projects to pick up new things, or learning CAD, or soldering, on and on. Always been pretty good at filling my time, just need to learn the relaxing part.

    Do some work, go to the gym, cook dinner, plan a fun weekend event, go to bed early. I fear I am fully institutionalized at this point.

    Catch up on schoolwork. If I truly finished everything and have nothing to do I will probably rock climb, hike, exercise a bit. Haven’t done those things in a while
