   I've been in a habit for decades now of not really structuring my spare time. If there is an event, I might schedule that, but otherwise, I don't really have an after-work schedule.

   Society doesn't expect you to have one, but I think it's the only way of achieving certain goals that no one cares about but you.

   I tell myself I have a need to relax, but the fact that I don't immediately fall asleep when I go to bed tells me otherwise. In other words, I'm being lazy.

      There are certain things you just can't rely on other people to push you into doing.

      I'm not sure how I'd go about structuring my spare time. I have tried an approach where I scheduled a bunch of repeating events in my calendar, but that effort was too easy for me to derail.

      When you're the only one who cares, there is no one to stop you from just going "Fuck it. I'm going to watch YouTube, read Hacker News and make pointless posts on Mastodon instead."

         I have wondered, from time to time, if it would help me to have a small office somewhere. The act of coming home kind of puts you in a mood where you don't want to do anything productive.
