Ask HN: How much free time do you get per day?

imo "doing nothing" is good to prevent burnout

That is a great quote. Something that isn't obvious when you're younger, you are "spending time to get to an objective" and time not getting to that objective you consider "free". But the reality is that there are no objectives, there is really just living your life until you are dead. Sure you will spend some time doing something that sets up your ability to do something else, but at the end of a lifetime its all about having invested in what you think has the most impact on you, your family, your community, your world.

Like it or not you are going to have to sleep.

spoken from someone who probably doesn't have kids...
