If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time?

Imagine all your basic needs are covered: housing, food, healthcare, and so on. You don’t need to work for a living anymore. What would you do with your time?

I know this might sound like a bit of a dreamy question, but it’s been on my mind lately, especially as I see so many people working tirelessly day and night. Perhaps it’s time for us to slow down and reflect on what truly matters. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

I would stay in my room. That’s why I do anyways after work (when I had a job).

Read, write, gym, combat sports, paint, study, research, try to contribute to science, astronomy, camping, gardening, fishing, and a lot more.

If I didn’t get go work I would be bored for a while until I get used to it. I don’t have much content in my life and work is a key aspect in keeping routines and all that jazz.

Having your basic needs covered is cool, but I’d like some money on top of that, too. So work it is.

under capitalism or an alternative?

Hike the entirety of the AT and the PCT.

Go bikepacking more frequently. Or go on a months long trip.

Make art - photography, digital art, linocut.

Help friends and family with projects.

That’s the short version. There are so many possibilities once you remove the need to be tied to a job/computer for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would love to have the freedom to simply not work. I don’t want to be rich, I just want to be able to exist without having to work.

There’s plenty of work right there. Art is work. Training is work.

It’s not that you’d want to live without work.

It’s that you’d want to do work important and meaningful to you.

No need to undermine it.

I’d go to school and take every course I possibly could for the rest of my life or until I couldn’t.

I haven’t worked for almost a year. Mostly, I wake up, play video games, eat, and do some work around the house. There are pretty bad days where I feel worthless and tell myself pretty negative stories, but I’ve gotten much better at ignoring them. Now, I’ll be going back to work soon, and I’m terrified of losing my total free time.

Garden, fuck, go to the beach, read, dance, cook and ferment, hang out with people. Probably still work some for money if I needed it to buy stuff like drinks or an e-bike, or to travel, I’m sure we’d still have a money economy of some sort. Same stuff I’d do if I could afford to retire. If I was a few years younger, would foster a kid or two.

Oh, and I’m sure I could live a full and healthy life without paid employment, myself.

Hmmm I am kinda in this situation now and I have to say I still want to work just not for other people (unless I know them well). I actually am trying to be more active and working on my own stuff makes me feel good and gets me off my ass.

Fishing and sailing.

Nemo ,

Like almost everyone else on this thread has said, I would still work; just for fulfilment rather than to survive.

grrgyle ,

Probably other kinds of work.

Like I would love to staff a local convenience store. Maybe some farming for part of the year. Oh and fixing people’s appliances would be so cool

What I do when I have spare time: write. I just don’t seem to have had any spare time recently.

Aside from being lazy and playing video games all day, I would like to learn new skills. I always said I wanted to try woodworking. A lot of my current skills involve being on a computer so I would like at least one that involves tools and using my hands.
