Given my current MLP carefree job, I can go to office any time to get the privacy I yearned for. Weekday mornings, and everyday after 11pm are also perfect private hours. Even on MRT I can now get private time 95% of the time.

Reality is, when private time is no longer the limiting factor, absorbency becomes the limiting factor. You may call it insufficient drive, but I won’t say “willpower”. Once, for a few weeks I took on the toughest of ALL absorbency endeavors, but the absorbency level is hard to keep up.

Now, most people are not super motivated. Vast majority of us don’t spend much spare time on coding drill, workout or self-improvement. These domains are my relative advantage actually.

Q: When my available private time increased around 18 Jun 2020, was there a corresponding increase in “productive” hours?
A: I would say yes a little bit including workout, tech xx, academic coaching,,,. I think most of the private time increase went to non-productive activities, chiefly blogging, but also DIY, shopping, family outing. Many of these non-productive activities can be considered enjoyment of leisure and family bonding — important goals of working men.

Q: How about the last few free days before a middle-school or college exam?

Private time is usually a scarce resource, for most people. Yet, now I have more private time, I tend to spend it on covid news, leisure reading, personal investment,,, ! Sign of insufficient absorbency

currently, I do spend a lot of spare time and absorbency on exercise and diet control.
