How do you choose to be entertained?
Downtime
We all have downtimes. Whether these are chosen (vacations) or imposed (waiting for something). What do you do in that time? Is it a time to relax? Perhaps a time to learn? I tend to lean on the “chosen” downtimes as times to relax. On the other hand, I try to use imposed downtimes as times to learn and explore. I take this approach probably for practical reasons. I am usually at home for chosen downtimes, and I like to relax while watching movies. Imposed downtimes are a bit more unpredictable, and I keep a small collection of e-books on my phone for such occasions.
Media
During those downtimes, what kind of media do you consume? I rarely watch any news on TV. I do follow a few different news outlets on Feedly though. Do you turn to social media? Do you reach for a movie, or a book? Music?
Everybody has their own tastes for how they want to be entertained. We do need to be careful with these tools though. Some are addictive. We need to be aware of what messages are being pushed, either intentionally of unintentionally.
