Introduction

When you have too much free time on your hands, it can be hard to find something productive to do. The days of school being out and having nothing to do are long gone for most people; now you’re probably at work or school all day and when you get home there’s just so much more work to be done! But don’t despair; there are plenty of things that you can do with your spare time that will help keep your mind active while also keeping yourself healthy. So without further ado, here are five things that I recommend doing if you’re looking for something fun but productive with your extra hours:

Spend time creating goals you’ve always wanted to reach.

If you’re looking for a way to spend your time wisely, one of the best things you can do is create goals that will take some time to reach. Here are a few steps to get started:

• Create a list of dreams that have been on your mind for years. Make sure these are goals that will push you outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself in areas where you may not be strong.
• Write down the steps needed to reach each goal, from the most basic action all the way through achieving it. For example, if one of your goals is to learn how to play guitar well enough to perform in public, then having an instrument or buying lessons would be one step on this path; learning songs by ear would be another; practicing every day would be another; playing gigs regularly would be another…and so forth! Each step must lead logically into the next until eventually reaching your ultimate goal (like performing at Carnegie Hall).
• Set a deadline date within which each goal should be accomplished — but don’t make this date too soon! Give yourself plenty of time and space between now and when it needs done so as not overload yourself with stress right away (which could kill motivation). Try setting monthly deadlines instead—this helps keep tasks in perspective while also giving enough room for flexibility should any changes arise during execution. If necessary, revisit deadlines periodically throughout process as progress is made toward completion date(s).”

Pick up a hobby that you’ve always wanted to do.

Taking up a hobby is a great way to spend your time, and it can also be a lot of fun. Hobbies can give you something constructive to do when you’re feeling restless or bored, and they can help keep your mind occupied while keeping you relaxed (and sometimes even fulfilled).

Hobbies are also beneficial because they allow you to learn new skills that will come in handy down the road. For example, if someone has never picked up an instrument before but decides to take up guitar lessons as their hobby, he or she will not only have an opportunity for self-expression but also get better at playing guitar over time.

Furthermore, hobbies provide opportunities for socializing with others who share similar interests—this could include joining clubs or classes related to your preferred activities or just getting together with friends who like them too! It’s important not only because it gives us access into other people’s worlds but because there may be benefits from being around positive influences such as themselves: socializing has been shown across several studies (here) (here)

Spend time on improvement; this could mean exercising, learning a new skill, or working on your emotional well-being.

If you have too much time on your hands, it can be tempting to spend all day watching TV or playing video games. But if you want to make the most of your extra hours, consider spending them on improving yourself. This could mean exercising, learning a new skill, or working on your emotional well-being.

It’s important to work on self-improvement because it will help you lead a better life overall and make it easier for others to connect with you. You might also find that the skills or knowledge that come with improving yourself can be used in other areas of your life—for example, if you learn how to cook healthily but don’t enjoy cooking very much in general (which is common), then this knowledge may help when making dinner plans with friends who are vegan or vegetarian (or both).

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the last 16 years at school: kids LOVE homework! When we give them something interesting to do at home before class meets again tomorrow morning – they’re really excited about what happens next week!

Have a movie night or game night.

• Invite friends over for a movie night or game night.
• Have a theme for your event, so it doesn’t feel too crazy and everyone can contribute.
• Watch a movie or play a game that everyone can enjoy. Movies are great if you want to watch something together, but if you’re feeling more competitive, try playing games like Cards Against Humanity or Settlers of Catan instead.
• Have snacks and drinks ready! Don’t forget about the snacks! Some festive treats are never not welcome at any gathering—just make sure that you don’t go overboard on them (no one likes those kinds of guests).

Learn to meditate to help destress and focus. There are many different ways to meditate which can be beneficial for all sorts of people. Find the one that works for you!

One way to destress, focus and find yourself is by meditating. There are many different ways to do this, and it’s helpful to try them all until you find a technique that works for you.

One of the most common methods is guided meditation. There are plenty of free apps available where you can download a guided meditation track on your phone or computer and listen to it anywhere at any time. You can also get books with guided meditations in them as well if these methods aren’t working for you!

Another very effective method is self-guided meditation: finding a quiet place where there won’t be any disruptions, closing your eyes and focusing on breathing slowly in through your nose once every five seconds (or whatever interval works for you). After doing this for about 10 minutes or so, open your eyes again and go about the rest of your day feeling refreshed!
