Productive Leisure Time

I think it’s important for everyone to be productive in their leisure time.

Why?

Well, if you’re not being productive in your leisure time, what are you doing?

Most people follow the path of least resistance. The default being endless social media scrolling, binging TV shows, eating junk food, and lounging around.

Instead of doing things I think people should aim to be productive in their leisure time. They can do this by

• Working out
• Learning new skills
• Building or fixing small things around the house
• Starting a new business to supplement income

These productive activities are a far better use of leisure time. Why?

• The mental health benefits of accomplishing something
• The physical health benefits of moving around(assuming a sedentary lifestyle)
• Learning new skills to stay versatile in an ever-changing world
• Last and most importantly…

Leisure time is all that we have outside of our responsibilities. It’s the only time we have to live our lives, change our lives and be ourselves. It is literally our life and how we spend it will dictate what our life will be.

The younger you start being productive, the more time you have to reap the rewards and fruits of your labor.

One obvious consideration is not to neglect friends and family. Strong relationships are essential to a fulfilled life.

When you finish work today, be conscious of what you do with your time. Hopefully, it will be something productive and meaningful.
