What to do in your spare time: ideas

I'll be honest: sometimes I envy people who have free time, and those who have so many of them, that they just do not know what to do, drive me into a stupor.

How can a modern adult person not be constantly busy?

How does he have time to play the fool and be weary of boredom?

Who are these people who ask, what to do in your spare time ?

But as demand generates a proposal, and similar questions become more frequent, I decided to quickly prepare an article on this topic.

I have selected for my readers a list of leisure activities that will not only be interesting and enjoyable, but will also benefit you.

So much free time - what would it do?


In the sports club that I visited in Kiev, often visited by glamorous young ladies - children of well-off parents and the wife of non-poor people.

Once in the locker room one complained to another that after she had been hired by a nanny for the whole day, she had too much free time, she has nothing to do.

The husband does not allow you to go to work, but you can not fill out the beauty salons, shopping and gymnasium all day.

This well-groomed, carefree, like a bird, a young woman really complained to her friend about a heavy share and a satrap husband who does not want to give her a beauty salon or boutique so she does not languish all day with boredom, so she does not think what to do in her free timetime.

Girlfriend invited her to do some hobby.

On what the young lady answered that she already has a hobby - she collects original brand shoes.

Then the conversation took a non-serious turn, so I did not listen, and I did not have free time, as always.

I ran off on my own business, but I could not get the conversation of two glamorous girl friends out of my head.

On the one hand, what a woman secretly does not dream that her life will consist entirely of shopping trips and beauty salons.

And on the other - I was just horrified at how boring life girls from high society lead.

They simply have nothing to do in their spare time.

What to do in your spare time, if you have a little?


If you are as crazy as I am, then your day is painted by minute and free time appears in such a dense schedule infrequently.

The best thing you can do if you have a window - rest.

You can just sleep off - this is also very relevant advice for me, but I often tell you about the importance of an 8-hour healthy sleep, and I neglect my own advice.

Relaxing does not mean lying around on the couch all day.

Although, if such a joy falls out infrequently, then it is possible to sacrifice one day to stay out of the house, and just relax, read interesting books, watch new movies, etc.

You can take a more interesting lesson on your day off:

  1. Go for a walk in the park or in the woods for a picnic.
  2. Go to the cinema or the theater.
  3. Visit the exhibition.
  4. Play billiards, bowling or something else.
  5. Ride your bike.
  6. Take an interesting excursion.
  7. Go to the hen party.
  8. Spend the whole day with your loved one.
  9. To organize a party for friends.
  10. Do something extreme: jump off a parachute, fly a balloon, ride a quad bike, ride a horse, etc.

To be engaged in free time it is possible to clean


To be in clean, without a single dusty house is very pleasant, you will agree.

If you have enough free time, then you can clean up your home.

That is, it's not just a traditional ritual( dusting, vacuuming, cleaning the plumbing), but also getting there where you used to travel infrequently, for example, on a cupboard or under a refrigerator.

What to do in the decree?

You can do spot cleaning. For example, to deal with such important matters:

  • put things in order in the storage cupboard - give the poorer relatives those things that you no longer wear, so you will free up space for the updates;
  • sort the books on the shelves;
  • clean up the kitchen cabinets, clean all the dishes;
  • unfreeze and wash the refrigerator;
  • to sort out the cosmetic bag, and maybe there was a lot of money left to be thrown away;
  • sort out documents, checks, technical passports and get rid of all unnecessary things.

It is not necessary to do cleaning in the traditional sense of the word.

Here's another what to do in my spare time can my readers:

  1. Browse all the photos that are stored in your computer, and form full albums of them.

    If you own a graphics program, you can make a photo collage or layout of the image for printing on a T-shirt or a cup.

  2. Organize your playlist and video library.
  3. Refresh the list of books that you want to read and delete those that have already been read.

    The same can be done with movies.

  4. To put things in order in the folders of their working computer - they never reach their hands before.

In my spare time I can do my self-education


In general, for self-education and mental development, one should always find free time.

Arguments: "I do not read books / do not watch developing video / do not attend courses and trainings, because I do not have time for this" - are unconvincing.

No matter how tight your work schedule was, you need to give food for your mind every day.

To people who have had enough free time, it's just God himself ordered to enroll in some courses( computer, foreign languages, driving a car, etc.) or training for personal growth.

You can even get a second higher education if the time is wasted - it will not be exactly superfluous and will help you to do something useful for 4-5 years.

If free time for attending any courses or trainings is not enough, then you can make a one-time educational campaign and do such things:

  • read a useful article;
  • watch a motivating video or documentary;
  • learn a dozen foreign words;
  • master the computer program;
  • learn something new - yes, at least beads weave, because any knowledge and skills will not be superfluous.

A fairly extensive list of things to do in your spare time,

is also presented in the following video:

What else can you do in your spare time?

As for me, the proposed options are enough to interestingly and profitably spend your free time.

But I like it myself when from an abundance of options you can choose the one that suits you perfectly, and I think that among my readers there are the same people.

Here are some more interesting ideas that you can do if you have free time:

  1. Volunteering.

    Shelters for homeless animals, groups that help old people, people without a fixed residence, the Red Cross and other charitable organizations are waiting for you.

  2. Day of beauty.

    This tip is more relevant for girls, but still.

    Devote the whole day to your favorite: visit the spa or arrange it at home.

    And so that this beauty does not disappear - go to the evening to visit or somewhere else.

  3. Culinary experiments.

    If you like to cook, but do not have enough free time for it, then on the day you can free you can do some complicated dessert or an exotic meal.

    For the evening invite your friends to try your culinary masterpiece.

As you can see, there are enough ideas for a pleasant and useful recreation.

If you are not a bummer and lead an active lifestyle, then the problem, what to do in your spare time , will not bother you too often.
