Hyperbole

Time is a finite resource.

How I spends my time is a reflection of my values (or should be, at any rate.)

I spend much of my time with my family -- this lines up with my values

I spend much of my time working -- this is a necessity of modern life for most of us.

It's how I should spend the rest of my time that is troublesome. I've allocated very little time to myself -- most of my "private moments" involve driving an automobile as a primary task. But sometimes I'm left with time that is just mine (whether I arranged or expected its allocation or not.) Sometimes I spend that time on family responsibilities. But sometimes I don't (whether I should or not is perhaps a corollary issue), and it's not consistent what I spend that time on. I seldom plan what I will spend that time on, and I'm not really sure right now how to value/weight the things I do spend that time on. I think it's time for me to re-assess my values...

...or perhaps I merely question the value of my (inborn or socialized) spontaneity.
