So what are you doing with the extra free time?

[MrConbon210]

Apologies if this is already a thread, I searched and haven't seen one.

Myself, like many others have just gained a whole lot of extra time due to the Coronavirus. For me, my work and school is shut down until at least April 1st so I now have 7 days a week, 24 hour a day with nothing to do. I honestly don't know how to fill that time since my main hobby was going to theme parks which is no longer an option.

So friends, what initiatives have you started or plans you have made? I might dabble in Spanish while I'm on break.

[Baphomet]

Same things I do everyday: video games. reading, house maintenance , I pretty much have free time all the time.

literally me

just with an extra helping of depression this time around.


I will say though, Clannad Aterstory is a perfect watch given the current events.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Anal exercises.

 

[RPanda]

Having all of my classes online is really weird but I'm trying to finish more videogames lol

 

[Deleted member 7279]

Praying they close school for a few weeks

I've been constantly trying to get myself to play videogames for a while now, and I've just been super burned out lately. I'm very on and off with my gaming, but I've been watching a lot of anime.

 

[Couleurs]

It'll be a weird world when many of us complete our backlogs

Same. Working from home and mostly just bored despite having the world of entertainment available as my oyster. That's probably just the usual depression, though.

This is also me. Keep trying to get into new games but none of them take. Super bummed The Outer Wilds didn't grab me, because by all accounts it should be my jam.

Yeah, I went all of February without touching a game. I miss them, but I can never push myself to start. It's just easier to passively watch a show

 

[Khanimus]

I'm working from home, I ain't got any free time lol

 

[Deleted member 8861]

I have had a bad schoolyear so I was ditching school all the time in order to stay in and play video games/browse the net/read books occasionally, anyway.

Probably gonna be more of that with an extra helping of guilt

 

[Deleted member 1086]

ask me this question when the internet shuts down

 

[SupremeWu]

Stocked up on weed and liquor, have a huge book and game backlog, and have been meaning to re-do the furniture for a long time, for starters

 

[soundtrack]

one of the downsides of working from home is that you are never truly free from work. so, working

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Nothing different so far in terms of work or kids at school...though I suspect that will change shortly.

 

[Okabe]

Working out.

From home

 

[BossAttack]

Going to work as I didn't get down time or work from home.

 

[lunarworks]

Don't have the free time yet, but fully expect to have it tomorrow. My boss told me he has "updates" tomorrow.

Me + Free Time = Wasted Opportunities

 

[Truly Gargantuan]

I don't get any free time. My job is still a chuggin

 

[Deleted member 18944]

Every obligation I have just came out and said you need to do it at home so...

Cleaning my house?

 

[Einbroch]

Staining my floors. Taking online Photoshop classes for fun. Playing videogames. I'll probably do one last run to the library before they close it down.

 

[Soma]

Getting back into Rainbow Six Siege and No Man's Sky

Also building up my portfolio to send to anyone needing design work.

 

[Chromie]

What extra time?

 

[Z-Beat]

Trying to prep for my return to society

Lots of porn too

 

[sirap]

Business as usual for me. Already work from home.

 

[Khrol]

Still busy working and raising kids

 

[RailWays]

Still working, just remote.

 

[Addie]

Going to work.

 

[JaseMath]

Working from home.

 

[Shoeless]

I've been working from home for years, so no more free time than usual for me.

 

[DrForester]

 

[adj_noun]

Going to work. We ain't closing until everyone gets sick apparently.

 

[smileyforall220]

What free time?

 

[Eugene's Axe]

Videogames, movies, books, internet (porn)

 

[Walter White Walker]

No extra free time. Please give me some of that.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

* Learning how to make games with Unity and C# (it's FUN!)
* Also working on personal programming projects, reading technical books etc.
* Made this with Angular recently

*Need to add features, clean up code on this project as well.
*I have some interesting projects at work, so I think about them as well.

Beside programming, I am reading an awesome book called Deep Work and playing Black Mesa which is just incredible.

 

[Yasuke]

Right now I'd be happy to be able to continue working 70 hour weeks from the comfort of my own home, but alas

 

[Rory]

If I get the time off: Work out, walk doggy, play animal crossing. I'd love to watch tv but there is nothing good left on netflix/amazon.

Avoid my parents. And be sad, because I wont be able to say bye to my colleagues and much worse: Children. As my last day at work would have been the 24th.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Spoiler

play video games

 

[Mariolee]

Still on rotations in hospital so no free time for me.

Unless narrowly avoiding coronavirus counts?

 

[FFNB]

"Free...time?" What is that? XD :(]

When I do, I try to squeeze in drawing and/or writing for my next graphic novel. I tend to save watching tv/playing video games for the weekends if I'm not hanging out with friends.

 

[Ryan.]

Working on my research paper for my masters. Good chance I may not be able to walk in May if it gets cancelled but I'm still graduating dammit.

 

[Jon Carter]

If my job switched to working from home, I'd probably be even more tired than I am now because then I'd have to take care of my 2 year old while I work. No free time here regardless of what happens.
