Time Is All I Have

I was sitting in the little dining area and a thought came to me...Time Is All I Have. I don't work. I live alone in this little apartment. So, what do I do to fill all my time?
I pretty much divide my day into 3 categories: play with yarn, be on the computer, and do not much of anything else.
I have been spending a large part of my day parked on my bed. That is where I have been making crocheted blankets for everyone in my family. I also make socks and scarves and whatever else I think to make with yarn. It is also where I have my laptop.
While I am playing with yarn, I will have a movie going on the laptop. I really don't have to pay close attention to what is going on in the movie while concentrating on the stitches I'm making. Sometimes, I will put the project aside and scroll through my Facebook feed, play a few games, look for patterns for my next yarn project, or spend time here on myLot. If I didn't play with yarn or spend time on my laptop, I would otherwise be doing not much of anything at all.
The not doing much of anything else includes not getting the dishes done, not cooking a meal, not getting my laundry caught up, nor plenty of other things that need to be done.
I need to change all that and make sure that my time is spent not just parked on the bed a huge part of the day.

My laptop also lives on my bed, along with my phone and two tablets. I spend a lot of time online. I do dishes every time I go ot the kitchen and do other household chores when I happen to think of them.
As long as you're enjoying the majority of your day, I don't see anything wrong with how you spend it.

Maybe not enjoy my day, but at least it's not horrible.

@DaddyEvil I have been watching tv series and movies on hulu. I watched I Am Cait which is about Caitlynn Jenner. I also watched Moonfall, which stars Halle Berry.

@bluerubymoon53 Hmm... maybe find things you do enjoy for a little while? I have a lot of fun on myLot and enjoy watching science videos on YT.

In other words, you need to set up a schedule for yourself, set up some goals, and keep yourself motivated. If I might ask - where does your money source come from? I receive my SS but I also do surveys and write online and look for writing jobs anything to give me extra income,

I get SS. Once in a while, I might sell a few hand knitted or hand crocheted items.

I am pretty good at keeping up on the dishes and minor house work. So I know what you mean. I spent the better part of my day on the couch today because we didn't have power for several hours.

That sucks when there is no power. I can still play with yarn as long as there is still daylight! And, as long as the phone is still charged, I can at least let people know that I'm ok during a power outage.
