Ten practically free ways to spend your leisure time and the next step
After reading The Joy of Not Working by Ernie Zelinski, I wanted to share a few cost-free ways to spend your leisure time. If you believe that leisure time is important (and I believe it is), then there are certainly different ways you can spend your leisure time. Expanding on the book slightly, I believe the following ten activities are great ways to spend your leisure time, and to help you even further, I wanted to share a specific recommendation or next step with each activity so that you can implement right away in your life.
Reading
I have talked about the benefits of reading before, but here they are again: they can help you with your concentration. You can learn something new. You get to ‘download’ someone else’s life experience in a week or less (depending on how fast you read). You get to explore new worlds you have never been to before.
One fiction book that I read recently that I really liked (and I think you would like too if you are into sci-fi thrillers) is Douglas E. Richards Split Second. If you are more interested in non-fiction, I am currently digging You’re not listening by Kate Murphy. It’s a book on the art of listening and how to cultivate better listening skills.
