Comments on: Downtime – What I do offline to recharge http://odinkirk.com/2007/10/05/rest-and-recharge/ Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:35:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: John Allison http://odinkirk.com/2007/10/05/rest-and-recharge/comment-page-1/#comment-344 John Allison Tue, 09 Oct 2007 18:46:04 +0000 http://odinkirk.com/2007/10/05/rest-and-recharge/#comment-344 Thanks for sharing! I kinda figured that you would have a strong musical element to your downtime, but it's interesting just the same. I find that taking time to simply muse is very restorative for me as well, but I didn't think it would be "active" enough to put on my list. Thanks for sharing!

I have plenty of downtime activities, some of which are (in no exact order): - Computer games. Economic simulations to be more precise. I just love building a business and then watch it take off! - Mountain biking. Because I live in a mountainous region and there are plenty of mountains (all of them wild and unmanaged) to venture on. Good at clearing the mind. - Music. Whether I'm mixing at some event, producing some mash-ups or simply listening, music plays a really big role in my life. In 70% of times, if I'm not "working," I'm doing something related to music. - Movies & cartoons (the Simpsons). Watching a good movie can be a very pleasant thing to do. And sometimes there are plenty of things to learn from them! - Daydreaming. I do a lot of this. :) Although I absolutely love working on my online project and spending time doing activities associated with it, sometimes the need to “break the habit” appears.
