How much free time do you need?

By that I mean time away from your spouse, and friends, just to clear your mind and forget everything for a while.

Best answer!

I really need it. I have no time for myself. I wish I could take the time off, but it's almost impossible with kids. And my wife is a kind of woman who needs to know where I am and what I'm doing at every minute.

A few hours of free time for myself, sometimes a little less time, depends on how I feel and/or feeling.

What I find interesting is that It's not just me. Glad to see that you all need the same "Space" from time to time.

Not a lot. I work from home and my wife works 40 mile from home. After a day on my own I look forward to her comming home

My life is free time, interrupted by moments of people attempting to power over me and put me under their bondage.

I find that I need at least two days a month, not back to back. My wife knows when it's time to back off. I just don't want to see, hear, talk to anyone. Cell phone, shop phone are shut off. I have a small apartment above the shop and I basically hide there till my mind unscrambles. I run into the house, hopefully unseen, have dinner and sneak back to my hiding place.

Try a hour or two everyday :-)

With my schedule, I just don't have the luxury of doing that. I pray for blackouts at time, so I can't run the equipment.

Try 10, 15, or 20 mins as often as you can between schedules to help relieve the stress...you're functioning on overload :-)

I would like to have about 2 hours a day just for me. Time to think, meditate and do a little art work.
I worked for years, am retired now, and am busier than I have ever been.

Me too,not enough hours in the day to get my stuff done. So much for retiring.

Thanks for your comment. At least now I can do what I have to do when I want to do it and not live on a schedule someone else makes for me. Also, If I were working when would I have time to do Q&A?

Good point. I think you gave me a TD by accident perhaps.
