I want to live an intentional, happy life. As a result, I try to be conscious of how I choose to spend my time. I’m finding that I don’t actually know what an “intentional, happy” life looks like in practice, only the theoretical concept of one, and therefore don’t know how to spend my days. I ask myself things like: Which activities will be fulfilling to me and which won’t? What is the most beneficial and worthwhile way for me to spend my time when not working? What kind of lifestyle is the “best,” either in general or for me personally? Do I go to the woods like Thoreau? Do I create some kind of daily routine that involves nature and books and study? Do I focus on work and entertainment? I just really don’t know.
Since I don’t know the answers to these questions, I’m really feeling lost, and in some ways more unhappy than when I was just living according to whatever a normal life around me looked like (go to work, come home, fuck around on the computer, go to bed, repeat).
Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what was/is your solution?
