“How do you spend your free time?”

This is the one question that could send me into a shame-induced panic any time I spoke at a conference. Because I worked around the clock as an Executive Producer of a very busy international television show, I felt like a failure every time I attempted a pithy answer.

Until one day, I had a major epiphany about “free” time + I shared it in my memoir, The Beautiful No: And Other Tales of Trial, Transcendence and Transformation:

“I’m not in a gulag trapped against my will, where I have absolutely no choices. All my time is free time — determined by my choices. Choices I am free to change at any time. Even when I spent very long hours on staff jobs, all of that time was my free time, too. If I ever chose to whine or moan about my work “have-tos” I was just plain wrong. Even back in the day when my budget was squeezed within an inch of its life I was still free to choose how to spend my time (no matter what victim-based stance I took). My life unfolded directly from my choosing this way or that way. I was then, am now and will always be free.”

For anyone who believes (as they trudge off to the salt mine) that they have no choices because of money, time or circumstances out of their control...

I’ll say this gently — it’s just not true. You decide.
