Do you have too much time on your hands? If so here are some great things to do to occupy your time that are free, and can be very entertaining.
1. The first time consuming activity would be to make a puzzle. If you are stressed or you have a lot of time on your hands, making a puzzle is a great way to occupy your time. You’re staying out of trouble and you’re doing something that can help your hand/eye coordination. It is a simple way of stimulating your mind. If you are interested in this activity I would highly recommend a puzzle with a minimum of 1000 pieces. Get something more difficult, that way you’re not necessarily in a rush to finish it, but you also use your time to think hard about putting the difficult pieces together.
2. Rearranging your house would be another way to occupy your time. Do room by room and rearrange all the furniture and pictures/posters that you have hanging around. If you live on your own, this is a great thing to do. You don’t need permission and you can arrange everything the way that you choose to do so. But if you happen to live with someone else, or your parents you’re going to want to get their permission and approval before beginning to rearrange any living areas that are not your own.
3. Play a game. Playing games either online, or on a game system are a way that many people use today. Some people are addicted to this system of occupying their time. Play something you know you’re not going to get TOO into, that way your life does not end up revolving around this game. Just play something you enjoy either alone, or with a friend. Maybe even add more than one friend.
4. Go for a hike. Going for a hike is not only a healthy option, but it is also very time consuming as well. Plan a day to go on a 10 mile hike. Bring friends or family if you want, or just spend the day alone on nature’s path. Be sure to bring lots of water and healthy snacks to stay hydrated! You’re more than likely going to be outdoors all day long. Enjoy the time being outdoors and dress according to the weather. Be sure to wear sunscreen!
5. Making art is a time consuming activity. It is a simple way to express your self and it is a lot of fun. Depending on what you make, creating a masterpiece usually takes a long time. You can attempt to perfect what you’re trying to make. You will probably spend a good bit of your extra time on this masterpiece that you are creating. You may even end up making some extra cash doing this as well. It is also a way to release stress. So if you’re stressed, and have a lot of time on your hands, grab some paint and express yourself!
This post was pretty intresting. When im grounded I usualy color or draw. And I sometimes even do a puzzle. Thoes were some good things to do if your bored.
