Maybe age has something to do with it - yes, I used to spend too much time on Facebook. Back in 2007. I also used to drink too much alcohol. Today I just don't have time for social media other than when I'm waiting for something, like a bus or train or my boy to come out of school.

I can't program with a hangover, I can't read, I can't scratch-build radio-controlled trucks. I can't scuba dive when I'm hung over and I can't do Krav Maga while I'm online. I like these and other things more than being online. But yes, I like being online too. Pintrest is great for research when you're building a garden bench.

I guess filling my life with meat-space things I really like and enjoy means I spend comparatively very little time online.

I do wonder what people who don't have meat-space interests more important to them than being online, think about.

Pre-Corona, I'd spend approximately 2-3 hours after work online, mostly working on hobby projects or catching up with quick TV (40 minute shows feel like a waste of time, whereas 2x20 minute shows feel more productive...)

Nowadays, I have no need to leave the house. My meat-space activities are gone, so I poured myself into my hobby projects and learned that working on what you love more than 5-hours a day (out of genuine want!) quickly turns into a chore, and before you know it you're in a mindless spiral of ticking boxes that you arbitrarily set yourself to give the impression that the time spent on said hobby/chore is meaningful.

I cannot wait to get back to work. I miss my 2 hour biking commute, it was beautiful.

Interesting. I have too many ideas and far too little time. I wish I didn't have to work so I could do the hobby full time. Alas it doesn't pay as well as the day job.
