I wish that when I have nothing to do I wouldn't just do nothing! If I have, as is the case, a wonderfully empty afternoon I wish that instead of sitting and flicking around iPlayer for a good two hours (and if I'm honest, it was more like three) I would do something productive or creative. It doesn't have to have a purpose, I'd quite like it not to actually, as long as it was something other than just lying and watching TV.
How do we deal with change? Some people hate change and so shy away from it as if it were a deadly disease. Some relish it and so seek out new ways to do things, new innovations. What about if your life has changed - inevitably - and you're not longing for the old life (anything but) however, you don't know quite what to do with yourself or where you stand now that nothing is how it was. OK that is an exaggeration, some things are the same. In fact, most things are exactly the same; God still loves me, my family still love me, I still live in the same place, like the same things as I did etc. But the essence of things have changed, life doesn't feel the same anymore. Having never left school before, I can't say whether this is normal.
I just want to do something creative and without purpose.
Oh and the tip at the top in not no.17, it's no.1. I don't as a habit think up tips for life efficiency - that would be too productive.
