Wainy316 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I'd love to 'retire'. I'd feel liberated not being tied down to fixed schedule and having my employer owning 50% of my waking hours. Only having 4 weeks out of 52 where I'm free to do anything for more than a couple of days does not suffice. I'd still work/volunteer and I'd also enrich myself by learning a language or an instrument or something. And I'd still have to time to wank and play PlayStation.

T-Dog Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Once someone explained to me about Parkinsons Law (any task will expand to the time allocated to it) I've realised that any task I don't want to do, gets done if I set a timer for it. It's a strange concept, but I spend 15 minutes a day doing 'house' jobs and I get so much more done than if I did it without a timer on a weekend.

Shaky at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there is a hint of non-cooperation protest in there. Sort of like Gandhi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
