I would start by removing this stigma that time can be 'wasted'. Why do you think that? What's wrong with having time to do nothing?

There is obviously a reason why you feel the need to fill time. Some anxiety or fear.

In light of Leo's newest video "Real growth vs fake growth", don't think that by filling time you are actually solving a problem. The problem is not that you don't have enough things to fill you time with, it's that you think you need to in the first place.

Why not take the time to sit somewhere and be mindful? To chill out and unwind. It seems to me that you have a need to distract yourself by constantly doing something. Suggesting that your mind doesn't like to stop. I guessing that you probably still feel uneasy even when you are filling your time with 'useful' activities.

I think there is more to look in to here than just filling your time with more 'fake growth'. What's the real issue?

Stress less so you can meditate more, meditating more gives way for wisdom.

Learn more!! Language, coding, drawing, acting, writing... You can never have enough skills.

The mind always wants what it cannot have. As soon as you get into a busy job, you will wish you have free time to do other things. Enjoy your free time now, I'm sure that it won't last forever. We all had free time at some point in our lives. As we evolve and take on more things, free time becomes a distant memory.

I agree with the increase meditation time, but if you don't want to spend , let's say, 3 hours meditating...I recommend a mindful walking mediation walk/hike....Preferably in the woods on a nice nature trail or near a river, also a nice, city-scene, mindful walk is also treat...  This is never a waste of time because you are feeding your soul, and breathing the outdoor air.
