Want to create more time in your week to relax? Group tasks together.
First, instead of literally running all over town, map out your errands and get them done in one afternoon, starting at one end of town. This will save time and gas. Make it a mission and don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked by a bargain or an unplanned stop along the way!
Next, take the time you have “leftover” and do something fun and rewarding like a walk outside or an afternoon at the beach. Try and make it something that doesn’t require you to spend money (other than perhaps the gas to get there), to get a sense of true relaxation (more time and no financial burden). Here are 15 ideas for how to spend enjoy some down time:
- Read a book
- Listen to music
- Drink an herbal tea
- Look up at the sky
- Write a letter to someone special
- Take a bath
- Give yourself a facial
- Take a nap
- Snuggle with someone special
- Prepare a healthy snack
- Go to the beach
- Paint something (if it relaxes you)
- Garden
- Knit or do a craft
- Do Yoga or stretch
