How did your free time during COVID change you?

So, going back a little ways now, but during the COVID pandemic many people found that they had time off from work due to the business shutdowns. I didn't get time off work because my business was open, so I don't know, but I hear that many people suddenly had a lot of free time for personal activities and money from stimulus checks and expanded unemployment benefits, so they weren't hurting financially.

So, if you got time off, what did you do with your life, and did you have any personal revelations? Did it change you? I heard that some obese people became fit from having time to focus on exercise and changing their diet, personal relationships and marriages were changed forever as some people found that they couldn't stand each other, and some people switched careers as they had a new outlook on life and of course lets not forget the new form of work: remote work.

Or, did you miss your shot at free time because your business remained open?

You should probably look at what happened to yourself or others during the shutdown years because you should think about what you would do if everything you know about the economy and life changes in the future, what with social engineering being considered by the government to prepare for certain changes in society in the future, and also you should consider what you might do with your free time if, say, there is an afterlife and you suddenly have all of eternity full of free time on your hands.

 

it changed my 6-pack to a gut, which I got back to a 4-pack so far

 

I went to a university through online classes and got my bachelor's degree.

 

Big thing that changed is now I work from home full time. The only other change, which was for a short time, was not going out to eat every Sat night with the wife. Once the ridiculous mask crap ended we resumed our Sat night date nights.

 

iDid more studying and realised USA was indeed a Warmonger state and the biggest threat to world peace. I watched slot of Chomsky videos during COVID and this is the conclusion he came to also.

 

We get it…you don’t like the US.

 

I got fatter.

 

I realized how stupid the bulk of humans are.

 

I worked the whole time.

 

My yard was immaculate LOL. I didn't miss a minute of work for the shutdowns. It was not being able to go and and spend money or have people other than family really over that gave me a lot of free time. I actually have stayed in some of the habits, particularly when it came to spending. I sort of went back to just buying more than things I need as opposed to all the silly wants purchases.
