Unless I actually am doing something more for the day in FF14, like a grind, I just hop on, do some weekly/daily chores, then hop off. It may not even be necessairly to play a different game with my freetime time. Maybe its to watch a movie, or hangout with someone. If you got freetime, you just need to spend it smartly. If you feel like your bored and wasting your time in one area, then go do something else. Consider it like a day off. Peoples interests wax and wane all the time with various stuff and are rarely static.
