Sometimes we have more free time on our day-to-day, for reasons that don’t depend on us (unemployment, illness …) and we got to a point where we don’t know what to do to use our free time in a productive way.
Sometimes this happens even when we have little free time. Even so, we don’t know what to do with it or how enjoy it the most. However, when it is well used we feel productive and good about life.
What to do to enjoy the most of our free time?
1 – Make a plan for free time. Thus we can realize what is the free time we actually have, choose the best way to enjoy it and what we can do with it.
A good plan also helps you to better organize the time in general.
2 – Protect your free time from stress. Book your time for what really gives you pleasure and “forget” the rest. Only then it can be well used, otherwise, free time will not be considered to be quality time.
3 – Keep an open mind. Allow yourself to do different things, including activities, projects, that you had thought to do but never had the courage. After defining step No. 1 you can (and should!) make use of your free time.
4 – Don’t let the media control you. Use them to your advantage. Be creative, you can use the internet to learn (or teach!) something new, to be up to date on topics of interest to you … use your imagination!
5 – Volunteering. If you have enough free time, you can join an association or a cause you believe in and provide part of the free time you have to help others. By helping others will also feel good about yourself.
