I am alone much of the time, so I have put some thought into how to wisely spend my time.
To be healthy, you need to keep busy, so this is what I do:
I think we all pretty much do 10 things around the house:
In 3 categories: input, output, and biological:
Input: Watch, Read, Listen
Output: Write, Talk, Create
Biological: Sleep, Eat, Exercise
The tenth thing is Work. Which, for me, is chores around the house, or gardening..
Sleep includes things like Meditate, Sit, and Nap
Eat includes Drink (I could have said Ingest). I include Cook with this, of course.
Listen
-Listen is anything Audio: Speech or Music.
-Speech could be talk radio, television in the background or over my wireless headphones, books on tape, lectures or presentations or readings of whatever length online (i.e. ted lectures, u-tube, or learning out loud), telephone recordings, and, of course, actual conversation over the phone (which I hardly ever do).
-Music could be cd's, tapes, am or fm radio, radio on tv, radio online, satellite radio.
Aside:
I'm a very visual and spatial person. I am constantly imagining myself interacting with the things around me, as I walk through the house. In this way, I see the potential for all the possible activities I can do in each room I'm in. If you're bored, then you're boring. There's always more than enough to do. Busy, busy as Bokonon says. You couldn't pay me enough to sit around and twiddle my thumbs wasting time in an office. Or play videogames. I've recently decided to do some push-ups every time I go into a new room. I don't like videogames that much. I used to have an atari as a kid, though. I liked kaboom. I wanted to learn how to program it, but my teacher told me to figure it out myself, so my computer-programming career ended there, in 7th grade, in '84. If you're in action mode, just do whatever you see needs to be done, until everything that can be done is. ANYway,
I've got all these buttons on my toolbar, which give me all my routine online options at a glance. Pretty cool. And I don't have to type in the webpage addresses.
For some reason, I'm not as excited about my book I'm working on. My wife's book collection and music collection is a continual possibility for exploration. People aren't reading anymore. I used to love to read. I need to get back into it, with real, actual, physical, books.
Okay, have a nice day!

so, to be stupid,
So 'whirl, world trade center, see' is a way of thinking of WRL, WTC, SEE.
