Broadly, three categories of productive activities:
|
|
|
|
* **Chores** -- things you have to do to maintain stasis.
|
|
* [Sunday Firesides: To-Dos, the Rent We Pay For Living | The Art of Manliness][3]
|
|
* **Improving the world** -- not in some grand sense necessarily, but activities that create lasting improvement: building things, fixing things, getting rid of things.
|
|
* [What Do You Want to Make Real in the World? — Anna Havron][4]
|
|
* **Improving yourself** -- things you do to make you better at doing other things.

> Book smarts, street smarts. Learning by study, learning by doing.
|
|
> Read about it, apply it, see it in action, take that practical experience
|
|
> back to your reading, deepen your understanding, take that deeper
|
|
> understanding back to your activity ... it's a never-ending cycle, each
|
|
> aspect of learning feeding the other.

Experiences:
|
|
|
|
* Routine
|
|
* Novel
|
|
|
|
Leisure:
|
|
|
|
* Most of my hobbies are hard (satisfying but somewhat stressful)
|
|
* I don't really have leisure activities besides reading fiction
|
|
* I spend a lot of time mindlessly scrolling my phone
|
|
* [Spend Exactly None Of Your Time Killing Time][5]
|
|
|
|
Sleep:
|
|
|
|
* Getting 7+ hours is important. It can feel like a waste of time when it's 11:30 and you're on a roll, but an extra hour of sleep can mean the difference between a good day and a bad one.
|
|
* If you're tired mid-day, just take a nap.
|
|
* Passage from _Make Time_
