Uncomfortable with Free Time

This past weekend had something very odd about it.

I had nothing scheduled.

And while I should have welcomed it as an opportunity to work on projects without deadlines, the truth is I wandered aimlessly around the house, feeling very uncomfortable with my unscheduled time.

This worries me a little bit. I have always thought that the purpose of being ultra-productive was so that you could have free time to do as you wished, unscheduled. Yet here I was, yearning for a list to follow. It was like I couldn’t give myself permission to not do things or work on things that weren’t on “the list”.

As funny as it sounds, I think I may have to put together a list of items to do when I’m done with what I need to accomplish: an un-list list, so to speak.
