Well, and MR, too, of course.
I'm not saying that one leads to the other, but, in my case, 18 months ago, I would have said the same thing. I'm not short of "hobbies" (writing, photography, bushwalking (the Noosa Heads National Park starts 100m up the road at the top of the hill), beaching) - it's just a bit like getting a whole table filled with chocolate and pastries and icecream every day, and being told to "go for it". Where does one start, knowing that one should have worked through the health main course before starting dessert.

That is, I hear what you (and others) are saying...but it might not be quite as easy to get out of a lifelong habit of obligation and working as you might expect, especially when the options explode out in front of you.

Seriously (and I'm not complaining), I'm about to start scheduling my leisure.

Geoff, lend us a hand here, will you?

Cheers,
Marc
