This blog dwells heavily on what to do with down time or as in some circles, spare time. There is a reason for it. Human nature requires down time. A person that is always on, will crash eventually, and crash hard. A person that spends their work week engaging others in conversation, needs some quiet time to a least recharge their vocal cords, or let their partner rest their ears.

I am a person that talks too much. It's my nature, and I have been falsely accused of being called a "chatterbox" since I learned to talk. I need down time to recharge my vocal cords. I need naps, coffee, and quiet time. Listening to myself talk is exhausting. How much down time is needed depends on the person, but every soul on this earth needs time to just be.

Time to go off topic, time to enjoy their surroundings, time to reflect on their future or their past. I like to plan, I like to write lists, I enjoy spending time in the mind of Allison Werner, just figuring out what does being me mean.
