How Would We Fill the Void?

With 36-Hours Of Extra Free Time I Would… – Evolving Times – The Law of Attraction Resource for Personal Growth :

[O]ne of the biggest obstacles in most people’s quest for freedom is their inability to imagine what they would do with all that extra time. Work fills a gaping void in most of our lives, a void into which we would rather not peer!

And the main reason that hole is so difficult to look into is because we have not figured out what we would fill it up with.

This is so true. The question that graces this post’s title isn’t just a headline. It’s a serious question that demands serious deliberation. Just for the sake of argument, what if you only worked four hours per week? What if more and more of us worked less and less? I think that without serious consideration of what we’d do with all that extra time, we’d merely think up new varieties of mischief and madness. I don’t think that’s what Tim is after at all.

When I initially pressed ⌘+2 to blog this, I intended to write a post that actually answered the question. But somehow, I managed to actually have a thought before dashing off a post full of platitudes and clichés about how I would do this or that with all that extra time. It turns out that I don’t really know what I would do with all that time. So, I won’t post my answer to that question until I actually figure it out.
