Spending Time

How do you spend your time? It is common knowledge that time should not be wasted. "Wasting", in general, does not convey a positive impression because it indicates a meaningless action, carelessness, having no purpose, useless or profitless activity. Here a question arises: what is a meaningful action, the one that should be pursued? It is usually understood as an action that is useful, that has a specific purpose, that yields a beneficial result. Therefore the main goal of "not" wasting time should be the achievement of something (physical or mental) 'productive'. I wonder if spending time in a rewarding way could also be - at times - just enjoying what you feel like doing (watching TV, idling around, napping, daydreaming, etc.), without worrying about its 'usefulness', without being accused of 'wasting' it. Just for a moment, forget all you are told and...simply do what you are inclined toward. It's your life, spend it the way "you" like it.
