I firmly believe if we structure our free time (even though it almost takes away the meaning of free time) we would be happier, more relaxed, more successful and achieve so much more than if we just do things as we feel like it.
In practice I suck at pulliing this off, it's not completely my fault, sometimes life and those we do life with, get in the way, but sometimes it's just my laziness and lack of drive. -------------------- My SoundCloud

Maybe for some but definitely not me.
I want as little structure as possible for my 'free' time. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I find I do very little without structure.
My list of things to do is spend quality time with my wife (that feels wrong to schedule) Practice guitar gym learn portuguese singing practice then there's always housework and cooking etc that needs doing. Currently the gym seems to take priority as it's something the wife and I do together. -------------------- My SoundCloud

Yeah, time management is the key to happiness and to achieve your goals. Some time ago I found a book that was very well organized to help us to be more effective. The name is "7 habits of highly effective people".

My wife is a school teacher and they have been implementing the 7 Habits at her elementary school where she is currently teaching.
It has been very successful, and the kids are becoming more involved in themselves by learning these 7 habits. They are also being placed in "Leadership" roles that will help them understand the importance of what it means to be a leader. It is a very good program and it, or at least something like it should be implemented in all schools. Yeah, time management is the key to happiness and to achieve your goals.

Oh, I need structure I tells ya. I just made a schedule for all my running and weight training the next month, because I know I won't reach my goals, if I don't make some agreement with myself for the near future. The trick is to put up realistic goals, and then you are happy, if you do better than expected. Then one day each week I have nothing planned a head, so maybe that is my only free time? Same with guitar, I must plan ahead, and make sure I have a weekend with some time before I choose to join a collab. And I'm really neglecting Gab's Army becuase I have so much other than guitar I want to do, and I feel a bit bad about that! Start your plan mate! The army is waiting for you.

This sound really cool. knowing these habit when you are at school would be something very useful for a whole life. I'm curious about knowing a bit more about how they implemented this program!

Well 'planning your time wisely' ... for stuff that needs to be done, isn't what I'd consider 'free time'.
Free time is for when all that's finished ... isn't it - ? This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 3 2013, 10:01 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Well 'planning your time wisely' ... for stuff that needs to be done, isn't what I'd consider 'free time'. Free time is for when all that's finished ... isn't it - ? Thats how I feel, free time is lazy time. I do my essentials when it needs done. I know the first pay of the month I pay all the bills, after that its just first come first serve and I don't try to push things to the back burning and procrastinate. After all that I just am the laziest man alive, watch movies, play video games, and eat. -------------------- Guitars:

Free time I think I have a bad habit of taking everything I do so seriously, that even free time is a challenge to me I tend to be over organized, because I am being involved in a lot of activities - I feel guilty sometimes for not being able to cope with everything quite like I'd want to. My free time is usually the time when I sleep I feel very identified with your story mate. I wish days would have more hours or weeks more days! -------------------- My lessons

Tell me about it.. I for one have to learn how to cool it down sometimes - in the mind that is - because I feel like there's something stuck there if I skipped guitar/ sword practice or fitness or whatever needs my daily dedication. yeah, this can be unhealthy. When I was a teenager I used to feel a strong guilty feeling if I didn't play at least 3 hours the guitar a day. I used to play more hours but if any day I wasn't able to do it I used to feel too bad and this wasn't healthy. In the long term I started to have problems enjoying other activities and this became a problem. -------------------- My lessons

How funny is it that a couple days after posting this, I'm being squeezed to give more of my 'free time' up!!!
