Studies say that people nowadays have more free time than ever before. Then why doesn't it feel that way? These days, our free time is usually spent watching television, using computers or communicating on our phones. To really help us increase our energy levels, it is important to use our free time wisely.
Set up your goal.
Think about what you want to achieve in your free time. Do you want to get fit, get creative or simply relax?
Don't worry about what you should do. Just think about what will make you feel more satisfied.
Set a date.
Plan when you are going to enjoy your free time, and treat it in the same way as anything else on your calendar. If something else more important comes along, you can choose whether or not to____postpone it, but never cancel it!
Do what you want.
Many people worry too much about their free time activities. They want to do things that will make their friends surprised, or help them get a better job. But free time isn't about that. It is about doing an activity for fun, so don't let outside pressures influence your choice.
You'll really know you're using your time wisely if what you' re doing helps other people. So find out what's going on in your community and lend a hand. Visit the elderly or help out in a children's club. If socializing is not your thing, why not volunteer for a wildlife organization?
