I love not having a set schedule. Ive wanted to do volunteering somewhere just for the socializing but having to commit to a set volunteer schedule has held me back from following through on that.
I felt like I needed some structure, so the first 6 months I took a couple of art classes. Now that I am a year into it, I’m ok without things scheduled. But I liked having a gentler introduction into having a bunch of free time. And I am getting better at initiating social times with friends!
