I need a project

[Purplefrock]

I'm at a bit of a turning point in life. Finding I have more time than usual on my hands, but I'm also a terrible procrastinator. there's plenty of jobs I could be doing but I spend the time on my phone, which isn't doing me any good at all.

I'm feeling inspired by a friend who's just bought an old van to convert into a camper, to keep him busy following his marriage breakdown. He has lots of skills, but hasn't done this before and is enjoying researching what needs doing and finding out what he'll need to learn.

Now, I don't have any of those skills and it will need to be much less ambitious, but I'm up for learning something new. The key is it needs to feel really worthwhile, not just something to fill the time iyswim. His van has a clear and exciting purpose.

Any ideas?

Is there a volunteering role that would feel meaningful? E.g. training to work on a helpline. That is very rewarding, and you also learn a lot.

Wow!

Though could revise it all and sit a past paper. I know it isn't quite the same.

I already volunteer with a homeless project twice a week.

I have an executive level job, that I do 3 days pw, am training for a marathon, and a have fairly big volunteering commitment. Keeping busy seems to be my project recently 🤣
