Over at zenhabits.net, there is an article titled, “What would you do if you had nothing to do?” I was like, hell yeah! I know what I’d do!
I’d travel the world, dance, take pictures, live simply, and drift. Stay for week, or two, or three, and move on. New Zealand isn’t very far if you’re already in Australia.
I’d play music. I’d never use a computer except for photographic-related work and money. I’d do random things for the fun of it.
I’d teach people, and guide them, and help them.
The last point of the article asks the reader to print out the perfect day.
- Rise as the dawn begins, stretch, and run down the beach as the sun rises and burns away the night mist. Alternatively, play music to the sound of the waves.
- Simple breakfast, either oatmeal over fire or at the open-air cafe just in town.
- Surf or hike.
- Simple lunch, and siesta.
- Study and work a few hours on a sunlight-readable laptop.
- Dinner, and then dance. Take a music lesson or twenty from local talent, laugh, make new friends.
- Sleep in fresh air where I can hear water.
That’s my (very achievable!) goal.
