4. Long story short

1. I have classical music on almost all day, and when something really inspires me, I head to the piano.

2. I’m in a very scenic location and clouds pop up, especially at sunrise and sunset and I have to scramble to catch the rapidly changing light show. I’d grow flowers but the deer eat them, so I rely on wildflowers for my close-ups. Alternatively, one could very “profitably” take a scenic drive. Even cities have neat photo-opps.

Distract the distractor!

Arguably, these are addictions as well, but let’s say “creative” ones.

Naturally, I store e-books and musical scores on the gadgets (the printed collection is very heavy) and edit photos on the computer. So, it’s not all “wasted” time. Computers are general purpose, and “Tuum est” — It’s up to you to decide.
