Sit down and make a kind of "bucket list" of things you'd like to do with an open time block. Then, think seriously about how much you really want to do them. We all have "dream" items that, in fact, we would not pursue given the chance. It'll take a hard think to thresh out the chaff. Find that one kernel -- "I've always wanted to write a novel" or "I've always wanted to dive the Great Barrier Reef" -- and plan for it. Then, block the time and do it. And if you find that there really isn't that one "have to" bit, then you're free to treat yourself to some "loll about the house" time and then return to the workforce.
