Exercise #773: Self Knowledge
Posted 8/24/18

(Somehow I missed the Self Knowledge on the third Friday of the month!)

Take a deep look at one of your typical days. How do you spend your time? Compare it to a typical day in your past. How has it changed? Are you happy with it?

For today’s exercise, you may show us your typical day, submit an essay about how you spend your time and whether you feel good about it or not or use your imagination and present us with how you’d spend your time if money, physical limitations, location, etc. were no object.

As always, you can choose to have a character do this exercise instead.

Critiquers, you might try answering these questions for critiquing the piece:
     * Did you catch any spelling errors or other standard proofreading items? If so, note them for the author.
     * Could you relate to this piece? Why or why not?

Word limit: 1200

Why this is a self-knowledge exercise: Looking at how we spend our time (especially the time-waster activities!) will help us make better choices - or at least be aware it is a choice.
