Al, England

 

Something I wish I had more time to do is socialize cause I don't go out and meet people as much as I would like to so it would be nice to be a member of a club or join a circle of some kind where I can meet more people, perhaps at the weekend.

Barbara, Australia

 

Something I really wish I had more time to do would be study Japanese. At the moment, I'm self-employed so I have to work everyday to get enough money to make ends meet so I don't really have enough time for studying Japanese, which is what I would really like to do. You have to spend a certain amount of time each day doing it otherwise you won't make any progress. I really wish I had more time to do that.

Mark, Alabama

I wish I had more time to read. I enjoy reading but I waste so much time, whether on the internet or at work. I guess I shouldn't say that work is a waste of time, but you know, I do so many other things and I keep so busy, I never have time to read and it's the one thing that I usually wind up regretting. Many times I think, "Ah, I really need to read more."

Ruth, England

There are many things that I wish I had more time to do, but probably the main one is, I wish I had more time to spend outside looking at the beauty of nature, ‘cause we tend to spend a lot of time inside at work and I don't think I wish I had more time for things, like watching TV or anything like that, because I think that's quite boring really. I think I would like to spend more time outside.

Simon, Canada

I wish I had more time to just hang out with friends, you know, not only me but also friends don't have a lot of free time but since it's summer now it would be great that if three days a week I could just hang out and have a barbeque with my friends.
