It depends on my mood! A bit of cleaning the house in the morning, some administrative work, browsing around my favourite shops and a movie maybe... | | | Mary Worby Egyesült Királyság Local time: 02:48 német - angol + ... I get out ... | Mar 3, 2011 |
I do something that involves not sitting in front of a computer. Whether it's grocery shopping, window shopping, having a haircut or taking the dog for a walk. Then I start to feel guilty and do the housework. | | | Susanna Martoni Olaszország Local time: 03:48 Tag (2009 óta) spanyol - olasz + ... Mainly, time for my hobbies... | Mar 3, 2011 |
I generally go out, walk, go to the gymn, spend time with my daughter. But it depends on my mood, on the season (for example, it is snowing at the moment!) on how many things I have to (I must) do apart from my translation projects.

I take the opportunity get on with the rest of the work in hand before anything does come in. Then there's doing the books, cleaning, cooking, gardening, shopping, exercising the dog, and a long list of other things to do, such as finding out more about features I have never taken the time to discover in the software I use (believe it or not I just found out about the thesaurus function in Word this week, after using Office for almost 2 decades...) | | |
most of the things listed, but none with particular priority - though I feel a certain psychological barrier at the idea of doing anythuing that take sme too far away from my computer and the mail box! | | | Adnan Özdemir Törökország Local time: 04:48 Tag (2007 óta) német - török + ... Writing my novels | Mar 3, 2011 |
I write novels. I love writing very much. Non-stop writing is important for me. Translation/interpreting or writing novels. Then i love uninterrupted writing and work. Plus, naturally short breaks... Saludos desde Anatolia Anadolu'dan selamlar | | |

fortunately I have not had that problem yet. And when no job offers arrive, I always have work on that has to be translated anyway. All other leisure time is spent with the family, but then it is planned. | | |
Any of the above! But it doesn't happen often enough! | | | Most of the above plus others | Mar 3, 2011 |
1. Study for my classes 2. Go outdoors: walk dogs, chat with neighbors 3. Get groceries, do other errands 4. Garden 5. Go to the gym 6. Bookkeeping, clean up files on my computer I have paid someone to clean my house for over 50 years. Other than tidying up, I wouldn't know how or where to begin. | | | Thayenga Németország Local time: 03:48 Tag (2009 óta) angol - német + ... A little of everything plus | Mar 3, 2011 |
I do a little of everything mentioned here. Additionally, I'm fixing up my place and am also working harder on promoting my other career as a writer. There's hardly ever a moment when I sit down to do just "a little nothing". Especially now that spring seems to be coming here, I spend as much time as possible to "springerize" my balcony. | |

If/when that's all done, I: - exercise: go out hiking/walking, bicycling, skating;
- hang out with my kid;
- do something creative: play guitar, paint, write something in my blog (http://baldwinsoftware.com/blog/), redesign my website(s), work on improving one of my programs (http://www.baldwinsoftware.com), or
- study something, my languages, cultures, programming (always more to learn).
And, if all else fails: - catch up on sleep (not quite sure what that is...);
- read a book;
- social life? (not quite sure what that is...);
- fishing.
