For my own routine, I shower and get dressed first, then breakfast after. I don’t take morning coffee but that would go with breakfast if so. And then while eating I’ll usually have a show on which makes it like partially leisure time. And it gives me some time to fully wake up.
Comment on Anon is exploited
LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoIf I am not intentionally hurrying up, getting some caffeine into me, waiting for it to kick in, showering, dressing, and performing all these little maintenance things a body needs to continue functioning and look presentable takes about an hour, yes.
that 1hr commute can be audiobooks Yeah, sure, but: that is still 1h spend doing things to distract you from an environment you don’t want to be in

Not really. Are you not interested in things?
My commute isn’t very long, but I still queue up recommended songs. I enjoy discovering new music, that’s the sort of thing anon is saying we didn’t have time for. I listened to the original H2G2 radio series mowing the yard this summer. Everyone has to spend time doing boring things, but when those things become routine you can multitask.

I enjoy doing nothing. Relaxing. I define “free time” as “time where I am able to do whatever comes to my mind, within reason”. I cannot scratch my ass in a commuter train, I cannot decide to be alone, I cannot decide to meet a friend while commuting, I cannot decide to take a nap in the car, and so on and so forth.
Therefore, commuting time is not free time. It is time where I am not 100% occupied with some task, true, but tbh I could describe a lot of work days in the same way.

I didn’t say it was? I don’t recall using the term “free time” at all. I said it could be used productively. Just because the use of certain stretches of time are limited doesn’t mean there aren’t fulfilling uses.
