Volunteering is good, I did that at some point. Having free nights is nice (how many free nights do you really need though). But I think your goal was not just be busy but also gain financial independence? You can’t have that on 20 hours a week (unless you are also on disability). If you aren’t on disability working only 20 hours a week is a luxury that most adults can’t afford. You can’t pay bills let alone buy much on it

Well I am on partial unemployment benefits right now because I lost half my job. So I have more funds than from just my part-time job and plenty of money to cover all my expenses and entertainment right now.
My free nights are everything to me. As you know, I like to see live music frequently and that's at night, plus I see my new guy on my free nights.
Volunteer work in my field would allow me to keep my unemployment benefits.
Then again, I may have no other option but to get another paid part-time job if I don't find a full-time job before the Spring. I have to move out of my parents' home by the Spring, or at least, that's what my mother told me recently. She may not stick to that, however. I think she was just trying to light a fire under me.
I could work 2-6 PM easily if I found a contract position with flexible hours. That's a possibility. I really do want to avoid working nights and weekends. I am a strict 9-5 weekday person. Or 9-6.
