Usually when school is in session I barely have free time, especially if I want to be active on hive. But since I have been on Holiday I've found myself having a lot of free time. Once I'm done with taking care of the house in the morning I'm basically free for long periods. Unless some urgent things come up.
I try to make the most of my leisure time by making sure that apart from being fun I also add some productivity to it.
So what is it that I do during my free time?
Social media
I enjoy going online to chat with my friends, I do this everyday. If you know me, you'd see I'm quite active in discord. It's fun engaging with people around the world. It gives you a perspective of how life is elsewhere, and I also learn a lot of things and get lots of important information from my online friends. Other than that I also find it really fun scrolling through Web 2 platforms. Going through hive is nice as well.
Movie
Movies are top notch entertainment and I'm not sure there's anyone who doesn't enjoy at least one genre of movie. They take us away from reality for a while and entertain us. I think I get a lot of my creative sparks from watching interesting movies. I tend to enjoy series a lot more because they usually allow us to analyze characters deeply and really form bonds and know things about them. Character development is also nicer in series.
Playing games
I have always enjoyed playing games since I was little. It doesn't matter the game, I always get good really fast as long as I'm interested in it. I don't have a console, so most times I play on my phone (occasionally I visit game centers). I play lots of games, ranging from board games like chess, to action games like call of duty. Lately I've been intentionally limiting my game time though, cause I tend to spend more time than I want to whenever I'm in the zone.
Reading
I used to read a lot in the past but wasn't doing so again, so recently I've started reading books again in my free time. I don't have any bookstore nearby and money to get the hard copy books I want, so I've had to make due with softcopy. Usually I'd be reading fiction, but I decided to try a couple self help books first.
Exercise
I noticed I started gaining weight, so recently I started doing exercise again. On a normal day the stress of the day would be enough exercise, but I'm on holiday, so I've been doing some home workout to keep fit.
Sleep
Though I don't nap very regularly, I've been doing it a bit more frequently lately. It really helps me to wake up and ready to go.
And there, these are all the things I do in my leisure time. There's also some honorable mentions, like listening to music, walking, singing to myself and so on. This post is in response to the hiveghana weekly prompt. What do you do during your leisure time?
