Today, I was confused about what I want to do. At first, I wanted to kill my time. I even intended to do something that was detrimental to myself, but it was a pleasure doing it. However, after I thought wisely, if I had time to kill, it's better to use my time for productive activities.

I understand that sometimes doing productive activities is more boring than doing consumptive activities, because consumptive activities don't need as much effort as doing productive activities. Yet, productive activities can enhance ourselves compared to consumptive activities. Consumptive activities themselves also need to be considered. We have to choose wisely among the consumptive activities that we want to do. There are consumptive activities that can enhance ourselves, and there are ones that can even undermine ourselves.

This is like cooking and eating activities. Cooking needs effort and creativity to do it, but we can get used to doing it, we can produce something from this activity, give an advantage to others, and even monetize it. Eating something is also like that, if we eat healthy food and not excessively, according to the portion, we can establish a strong "body system". It's okay to rarely eat junk food, because many of them are delicious, if we compare them to healthy food, but don't do it too often.


Hari ini saya bingung ingin melakukan apa. Pada awalnya saya ingin menghabiskan waktu saya secara percuma, bahkan berniat untuk melakukan hal yang merugikan diri sendiri, tapi enak untuk dilakukan. Tapi, setelah dipikirkan dengan baik, jika saya memiliki waktu luang, alangkah baiknya jika saya menggunakan waktu tersebut untuk kegiatan yang produktif.

Saya mengerti melakukan hal produktif itu terkadang lebih membosankan daripada melakukan hal konsumtif, karena kegiatan konsumtif itu tidak memerlukan usaha sebesar kegiatan produktif. Hanya saja, kegiatan produktif itu bisa membuat diri kita berkembang dibandingkan kegiatan konsumtif. Kegiatan konsumtif sendiri juga perlu diperhatikan. Kita harus memilih dengan bijak kegiatan-kegiatan konsumtif yang ingin kita lakukan. Ada kegiatan konsumtif yang membuat diri berkembang dan bahkan merusak.

Ini mirip seperti memasak dan memakan sesuatu. Memasak itu membutuhkan usaha dan kreativitas untuk melakukannya, tapi jika kita terbiasa melakukannya kita akan bisa menghasilkan sesuatu dari hal ini, bisa memberi manfaat buat orang lain, bahkan bisa dijadikan alat penghasil uang. Memakan sesuatu juga seperti itu, jika kita memakan makanan yang sehat dan tidak berlebihan, sesuai dengan porsinya, kita akan membangun "sistem tubuh" yang kuat. Sesekali tidak masalah memakan makanan cepat saji, karena kebanyakan makanan cepat saji itu enak, jika dibandingkan dengan makanan sehat, tapi jangan terlalu sering.

"my" time sounds unnatural. "kill time" sounds better

I even intended to do something that was detrimental to myself, but it was a pleasure doing itfun.

"It was a pleasure doing it" implies that you have already done the thing because you are commenting on the action like you have done it and formed and opinion on it. To get the point across you could just say "detrimental but fun." :)

However, after I thought wisely, if I had time to kill, it'sd be better to use my time for productive activities.

"It would (it'd) be" vs. "It is" shows that you are speaking hypothetically.

Yo good job this is really good! The vocabulary is really advanced and even though there was some weird phrasing I don't think there were any blatant grammatical errors. I 100% understood the point you were trying to get across.

Today, I was confused about what I wanted to do.

At first, I wanted to kill mysome time.

some sounds more natural my but works. makes more sense to kill "your" time if it was first said that there is time there for you to kill. like you were waiting for something.

I even intended to do something that was detrimental to myself, but it wasould have been a pleasure doing it.

This first part of the sentence is a hypothetically so we cant say that it actually hapend in the later half.

However, after I thought wiselymore about it, if I had time to kill, it's better to use my time for productive activities.

a native wouldnt say thought wisely. okay maybe in a veeeeeery specific instance. like your recounting your experience disarming a bomb or something very unique. still...

I understand that sometimes doing productive activities is more boring than doing consumptive activities, because consumptive activitiesvegging out, because vegging out doesn't needrequire as much effort as doing productive activities.

Probably a more understandable way to express that idea.

Yet, we can use productive activities canto enhance ourselves compared to consumptive activities.

if ourselves is the object the subject needs to be us. we're doing it to ourself. something else is doing something to us.

Consumptive activities themselves also need to be considered (from time to time/once in a while).

We have to choose wisely among the consumptive activities that we want to do.

There are consumptive activities that can enhance ourselveus, and/but there are (also) ones that can even undermine ourselveus.

"Even" doesn't really fit because we were't expecting otherwise given the lead-up.

This is like cooking and eating activities.

Cooking needOf course, cooking requires effort and creativity to do it, but we can get used to doing it, w. We can produce something from this activity, give an advantagprovide value to others, and even monetize it.

It's okay to rarely eat junk food, because many of them are delicious, if we from time to time, because it's undeniably delicious — especially compare themd to healthy food, buier options — but just don't do it too often.

everything in moderation, so they say.
