Free time is something I never thought about carefully until I actually tracked where my hours went. I used to say I had no hobbies, but really I was just scrolling and calling it rest. A friend once asked me how to take my Claude certification exam for me during a stressful month, and it hit me how often we fill spare time with shortcuts instead of things that recharge us. Now I keep one small hobby that has nothing to do with work or study. It makes the busy weeks easier to handle.
