What’s your favorite way to spend an unplanned hour?
There is something quietly revealing about this question.
An unplanned hour has no expectations attached. No outcome. No role to play. It shows up unexpectedly and asks, “What now?”
Some people fill it immediately. Others hesitate. Some savor it. Some feel anxious until it disappears.
I am not sure the answer matters as much as what your body reaches for in that moment. Do you move toward quiet or noise? Toward people or solitude? Toward something familiar or something distracting?
I share more of my own thinking in the full daily reflection, where this question sits alongside the Thought of the Day.
