I think the thing that would be the most productive would be to start a project you've been waiting to work on or something that might make you money. Either studying something you've always wanted to do or programming/writing something you've always wanted to write.
With 40hrs of paid time you could write whatever you'd like and it doesn't really matter if it pays off or not so you're not pressured to compromise on it. But if it does pay off then you're that much closer to an early retirement or the ability to take more control of your time by working on the thing you want to do.
If you're happy where you are then yeah. Read a book, play some games etc.
Don't use work resources (company network, computer system, tools, etc.) for this. If the project happens to make money the company will have a good basis for owning the IP.
Well put. This was exactly the answer I was needing to get going after a few ideas I have for a blog-like thing.
I know there's already too much content on the Web, but it's still something I'd like to try and hopefully begin failing better at. Gracias!
No such thing!
