I've been living in a beige box for so long that I honestly don't even know what to do without a computer in front of me. How do you occupy the time?
Take a walk, cook, read a book, talk to a friend, build a birdhouse... all options, I guess, but it seems really easy to find yourself with large chunks of time with nothing to do. Just ate, it's too hot outside, eyes are tired, friends are busy-- now what?
I know this is a failure of imagination on my part. Has anybody made a database of offline activities? (See, I need my beige box to even figure out what to do without it...)
It makes me feel sad and pathetic that I don't know how to actually live life outside of the internet.
Buy/acquire a whole load of books and have a large bookshelf in your house/apartment. These books should be on a range of subjects that interest you. When you find yourself with spare time, pick up one of the books that takes your fancy. I find just reading will improve my world-view, feed my imagination, and provide inspiration.
Of course without access to a library of book store, you might have to use the internet to buy the books in the first place!
