Hello and welcome to my blog! You might be wondering why “thyme” consuming. I am going to explain why. I created this blog because I started to have more time in my life, something I never had before and in this blog I am going to only talk about how to consume your time in any possible way in order to be content. The wordplay with “thyme” is just for fun: turns out that one of my main parts of the blog is cooking, I did not intend it to be so, it just happened. And my favorite spice for cooking is indeed thyme, therefore I find the title of my blog to be very representative for what I want to express. Why I have time? I decided to have a mini-retirement. I am young, not married, no kids, no mortgages and I find that this is the best way to invest in my health, giving myself time to see what I will do with it. It is not easy to have a lot of time, we are simply not used to it and it is scary, but quite a liberating feeling once you get in the groove and start doing all types of random things, that some more grounded people call hobbies. I never had one very strong hobby (like playing an instrument until you ace it) and even now I am jumping from activity to activity: gardening, road cycling, learning new languages, failing at them, giving up or deciding to get better. Everything teaches me more about myself. So the purpose of this blog is to express myself, hoping to help somebody with some of my ideas. But mostly, to enjoy myself and document this part of my life. Thanks for sticking around!
