What did it turn out was/wasn’t a matter of having the time to do it?

[GravityFalls]

We all put things off saying “if I only had the time!” Well now we do have the time, did that turn out to be true?

For example, now I have the time I HAVE:

• exercised more (Joe Wicks/treadmill)
• read more
• done bits and pieces of crafts
• slept more

I have NOT:

• practiced instruments (after the first flush of lockdown madness)
• written anything
• painted
• organised any cupboards

I have:

*exercised more
*listened to more music
*done more gardening
*spent more time outside

I have NOT:
*got any better at tidying the house
*sorted the back living room
*fixed the shower

I HAVE:
Sorted lots of cupboards out
Done a bit of yoga
Done a lot of drawing and colouring
Tried (a bit) to learn an instrument
Walked a lot

I HAVE NOT:
Done any strenuous exercise, including using the hand weights I've been saying I'd try to use if I had time for at least three years
Read much - struggling to get into anything
Spent much time in the garden (stupid noisy neighbours)

I cant order the fucking furniture and gardening stuff i need cos nobody will deliver or out of stock as every other fecker had the same bright idea!

Mountain of bags of stuff too good to be binned but now cant be freecycled or donated.

Professional beauty treatments that i cant have done.

Dental (cosmetic) work on pause. Now that i can attend any appointment any day.. grrrr

Restrictions on food and shopping, ok so ideally it means eating less as less impulse shopping but instead the shops are clear of decent stuff and all is left is sweets and refined junk.
I cant even have a lie in now that i have nowhere to go because of the arsehole landlord next door and his team of builders. Social distancing my arse. Poor sods.

Im so pissed off today

I have not:

Done any yoga or running
Deep cleaned the house
Started a side hustle (no idea what though! )

I have:

Slept a lot more (and feel amazing for it!)
Walked every day
Started reading again
Started learning a language again
Started writing a book

I have:

Exercised a lot (running, cycling, HIIT)
Done yoga every day
Read more
Read in Spanish
Baked a bit

I have not:

Written anything

I have: painted the kitchen and bathroom walls
Done Pilates most days
Practised piano most days
Walked every day.
Haven't knitted another stitch of the scarf I started in December, or sorted out hundreds of old family photos.

I have less free time than before! These threads about free time seem so strange and mysterious . Am looking after children while WFH in a job that has got tonnes busier and more complex and of course my cleaner can't come (but I am still paying her as she has kept me sane for 6 years now!)

However this is a relief because I am naturally very lazy so probably would accomplish nothing otherwise

I'm WFH full time with 2 young kids so not loads of extra time but I do have some.

I still hate cooking. Doesnt matter how much time I have I just dont know how to and I dont want to know.

I have done sorting of playroom and bedrooms etc and I normally enjoy that but I haven't this time.

I love jigsaws and hope to start one of those when all the sorting is done.

I've contacted people I havent spoken to for a while. It's nice to have time for that.

Not sleeping well.

I have started exercise again and am enjoying that.

I've sat in the sofa and watched TV with the kids. Enjoy that when there isnt a massive list of other things to do.
