The Best Things To Do With Your Free Time

We often get home from work and get straight to cleaning and cooking. When we finally have some free time we tend to spend it in front of TV. I have nothing against TV, if you are watching a movie or your favorite show, but most people just stare at it and don’t actually watch anything. There are much better ways to spend your free time and relax or earn some extra cash.

I don’t know about you, but I rarely have time for myself before 9 PM. I am a working girl and I like to have coffee with my friends once a week. I am also married and I clean and cook myself. I try hard to have at least one and a half hour a day when no one talks to me or expects anything from me. This precious time I use to do something that I love and that I can benefit from.

Here is the list of some of the best things you can do with your free time.

1. Find a Hobby

Hobby should be our secret passion. Having a hobby will boost your energy and self-esteem because you will be productive in something you enjoy doing. It doesn’t matter if it is exercising, humanitarian work, pottery or studying philosophy or modern psychology, you should never deprive yourself of your passions. You can even ask your children to help you with your hobby. They help you make pottery or they can oversee your workout (ask them to be your personal trainers, they will love it). This is a great way to relax from office stress, build your muscles, or feed your soul and your brain.

2. Brainstorm

If your work is your greatest passion and you don’t have a need for a hobby then you can spend your free time brainstorming creative ideas for your work. Do a case study; look online for some innovative ideas that can help you do your job better, or organize your notes and laptop. Use this time to do all the things that need to be done but you can’t do them without some peace and quiet.

3. Earn Extra Money

There are many part time jobs that can be done from home. For example, you can do what I am doing and write for a blog, or make one yourself. You can earn money as a web researcher (check out www.issuebits.com). You can give private lessons (if you play an instrument or speak a foreign language) or tutor school children.

All of the above is way better than sitting on the couch and wasting your precious free time. Doing something that you love or earning some extra cash will make you feel better about yourself.
