Some people may become rude on the title that why we use our extra time in work or business? We should just take rest! Isn’t it? But you would be amazed that successful people always do productive things in their leisure time!
Those activities are not always too difficult, tiring, or monotony rather, they may according to your choices, your priorities, your taste and your likings. So if you are interested to find some leisure time activities for yourself, then you are at good place to find something useful! So let’s start!
• Why is it important to waste your time productively?
In my opinion, wasting time is a good option especially for those, who are extremely loaded with work. But just wasting time in useless things is hilarious and alarming for even your progress in your job and life! So its important to waste your time in productive and mind blowing things to improve and enhance your abilities and to lead you towards success! There are many people who waste their time in useless activities even during work time. They really diminish productivity of the hour.
12- Ways to waste your leisure time effectively
1- Avoid just time passing:
We often listen to people saying just “we are passing the time”! Or “we are doing this to just pass our time”! So this time passing is really smashing! Just uselessly passing your time take you at bad time, distracting you from your goals, make you inactive and careless. Eventually when you just pass the time, then time passes you!
2- Avoid time passers:
Your company matters a lot!
“Good company will always be found much less expensive than bad.” – George Washington
If you spend most of the time in the bad company (friends doing smoking, gambling, abusing, and shouting) or time passers (who do useless things and just waste their time in gossips, unhealthy debates, and criticizing others), then you will be a loser in your life!
3- Take a nap:
After heavy work done or monotonous, human body needs some rest. Taking a nap refreshes ones brain and body and boasts both mental and physical health. If you feel slumber in your eyes, you must go to bed. But if you waste that time in using mobile phone or doing something else, and do not sleep properly, ultimately, it damages your mind and body.
4- Spend your time with family and friends:
Most people of us think that utilizing time effectively is all about doing office work or households but they don’t know the fact that to be a successful person, support of family and friends is crucial. So we should spend our free time in making conversations with our beloved ones especially with parents, siblings and buddies. It’ll heal our souls and fill their hearts with joy and happiness.
5- Go for vacations:
Do you remember your last family trip? Have you ever experienced the wave of ecstasy while commemorating about your last visit to a historical place or a park? Of course yes! So the most precious time of your life you experience, is your tour to make your soul amused.
“Travel. Because money returns, time doesn’t.”
6- Take an online class:
You must have experienced the importance of internet and online classes during pandemic. One useful way to waste your time productively is to take an online course of your own choice, unpaid basics or paid advanced version. There are many sites for online courses like coursera, Digi skills, udemy, khan academy, and many more!
7- Make your room and set your wardrobe:
Your room reflects your personality and gives you a sense of relief and comfort. In our daily routine tasks, we hardly find too much free time to reorganizing our rooms but on weekends mostly, we can manage our free time for setting our wardrobes, decorating our rooms, getting rid of unusable extra stuff and rearranging furniture. This activity makes you feel more energetic and boosts your nerves when you enter your living room!
8- Watch informative podcasts and documentaries:
According to research, 24% of young people take interest in podcast listening as it is a source of information that doesn’t need too much effort or time. Listening to podcasts and watching documentaries is more captivating and provides useful information as well as entertainment.
9- Do something that makes you feel happy:
Of course! Do things that give you a sense of relief, comfort and satisfaction like keep scrap books; write your whole day experiences, feelings or ideas down in your diary. Plant a flower or vegetable, look at chirping birds or greenery in your lawn. Look at the heavens, inhale fresh air and pay thanks to Allah Almighty (God).
10- Googling:
To productively utilize your leisure time, searching about new technologies and inventions or something interesting is highly recommended.
11- Read out biographies of successful people:
To go through the lives of successful personalities boasts up your courage and determination. Seerat-ul-Nabi (SAW) is highly recommended even religion doesn’t matter because it highly urges your thoughts, qualities, emotions, and a true and complete picture of a successful personality for everyone, in every field of life! You can also search and read out your favorite biographies here!
12- Recite the Holy book/Holy Quran:
As our body needs food and comfort, our soul does too! Most of the time we do everything to make ourselves happy and relax but we feel somehow depressed and uncomforted. Most of us don’t count but the only reason for our stress is our ignored, lost soul! When we go through the words of Allah Almighty and have a deep insight into the meaning and message, our soul gets comfort and satisfaction. So never forget this factor.
