What to do when you have nothing to do ?

Leisure Time – the definition, I am keeping it simple: FREE TIME!

When there’s no work or when you are not working. You can relax and do things that you enjoy doing the most that’s your – LEISURE TIME. Undoubtedly – in this modern era the trends of leisure times also have taken a different turn to what most old timers would agree to, just the way of living has changed too.

In this Hi- tech age, you might have a question – but “where is the leisure time on my hand?”

To that my answer would be a very quick question to you – is half of your free time being spent on just watching the television seating on a coach?… or making your presence well-known on never sleeping world of Social Media…on your latest mobile phone. If you, will think it again yes, It probably exactly just be the either one of the very reasons in most people’s life. That you don’ have time left at all to replenish, unwind or relax to just doing nothing.

Now having said that I cannot disagree – this could really be easier said than done – when the world series are on. And you just can’t afford to miss the next move of your favorite player. FAIR ENOUGH!!! ….but does that allow you to make it a lifestyle, think again??

I still do remember so vividly while I was growing up as a child – it was the rule of thumb like every day at my home to go play some outdoor sport or get grooved in just doing something really creative indoors on those hot summer days. Going back to those times, the only sources of entertainment we had was a television and the landline phone. We could never ever begin to think of anything close to like an online game… social media yare yare…but we had lived some good QUALITY LEISURE TIMES.

Well, we all as individuals are unique in our personal set of choices… preferences. We all like to do things our way the way we enjoy in our leisure times. When few of us can be more of an outdoor person … on the other hand some of us may just like to stay indoors. It could be for various other reasons also – and one of it could be the weather. If the weather is favorable – I personally like being outdoors…even if it’s just to sit on the beach watching the sunset.

We can engage our leisure time wisely to make the most of it keeping it balance to the other activities on our ‘to do’ list for the day. Although – the list of outdoor activities are innumerable.

Here are some perfect Ideas of indoor leisure time activities but it’s just a few you can be as innovative as you could be and see what works for you –
