What to do from idleness. Make a list of life goals

Man is glorified not by gold, not by silver. The man is glorified by his talent and skill.

Abdurrahman Nuraddin ibn Ahmad Jami

If a person doesn’t have money, it’s bad, if a person has money, it’s also bad, it’s bad because when this money is, it quickly ends, especially for those who do not know how to properly manage it. And with big money, there are even more problems, because you need to be able to protect and hide them. Of course, you will say that the problem with a lot of money is preferable to the problem associated with their absence. And I, in principle, agree with this, but not in those cases when it comes to fools for whom money is generally contraindicated, because a fool with money, especially with big money, is a big problem.

In this article, we will talk about those situations in our life when we either have no money at all, or there are so few of them that it is tantamount to not having any at all. And in such cases, it may seem to us that we have nothing to do - nothing to do, that all the doors are closed to us, that no one needs us without money. In a word - sheer darkness and depression, there is no joy from life without money. But in reality this is not so, without money you can do a lot, and if you wish, you can open any doors, and you can interest any people in yourself. In some cases, money, on the contrary, is harmful to a person, because it narrows the sphere of his interests to the most primitive sizes. Just remember how people spent all day in the casino, stupidly pounding on one button and losing all their money in them, well, is this life? So only a vegetable can live, not a person. And there are a lot of such examples, it seems that people have money, and they are like zombies - they always do the same thing, either they are engaged in stupid shopping, or some other nonsense. Money is made to be spent, and happiness lies in the amount of money we have - that's what those who can't live and enjoy life without money can tell you, which, as we all know very well, is always scarce. And since there are few of them, then there will also be little joy in our life, is it logical? No, it is not logical if you approach life from a different, more correct side, approaching from which you can see a lot of opportunities that people who are obsessed with money do not see. In general, let's find out - what to do when there is no money?

And to begin with, let's turn our attention to a simple example. Let's say that one child has a lot of different toys that he can play with whenever he wants. How, then, will this child behave with these toys? I believe that having played enough, this child will begin to treat them extremely carelessly, they will lose all value for him, because this is exactly what happens in the vast majority of cases. And over time, he will want something new, while everything old will completely cease to please him. Where can I get this new one? Ask your parents? So it will be. And if you constantly buy new toys for this child, his thinking will be formed in such a way that he will consider that everything interesting, everything new, what he needs and wants, can only be bought. It will be consumer thinking, capable of two main functions - to work for money and to consume. Now let's think about how another child who has few toys, but who also wants to get the most out of playing with them, will behave. What will he do in this case? He will do what I did when I was little and I did not have toys - he will imagine, fantasize, invent something, and make something with his own hands from what he has. He will take care of his toys and things in general, he will be practical. I do not claim that all people do this, but many people, according to my own observations and according to the assurances of psychologists, do just that. When they have little of something, they, firstly, appreciate it, secondly, they use it as practically as possible, and thirdly, they creatively manage their resources. In particular, this is how children behave who have few toys. Therefore, the absence of something in our life is compensated by our ingenuity and imagination, thanks to which we not only learn to solve any problems with the help of the resources we have, but also make our life more interesting, because fantasizing, inventing, imagining and creating is the same Interestingly, this is what we were born for. Now you understand what you can do and what you need to do when you have no money? Start creating, inventing, imagining, fantasizing - look for other ways to achieve the goals you need, look for opportunities to find money when there is none to achieve your goals. In other words, use your brain to full program let something give birth.

But that is not all. Do you want to know what else to do when you have no money? Take care of yourself. Health, education, recreation, cultural activities - that's what you need to pay attention to. And do not say that all this requires money. They, if needed, are in small quantities, and in some cases you can do without them at all. Who's stopping you from collecting healing herbs and to be treated with them, which in some cases is much more effective than any chemistry to eat, which doctors prescribe to us, who are not very interested in our health? Who prevents you from reading books available to most people, even in libraries, even on the Internet, or reading educational articles on sites like this? Who prevents you from taking time to relax, not necessarily on some sea there, but simply relaxing in nature, where you live? In my opinion, no one interferes. In the same way, no one bothers you to visit parks, inexpensive museums, etc. interesting places capable of instilling an aesthetic sense in you. You just need to give them your attention. In addition, I recommend that you take care of those matters that concern you and your family - take time for loved ones, chat with them, go on vacation together, do something with them, any joint work brings people together. In general, pay attention to people dear to you, because money is not needed for this. This will be a huge contribution on your part to the happiness of your loved ones and your own happiness. I also recommend that you devote more time to reading books and articles - expand your horizons, this will make your life easier and more interesting. TV, if you have it - throw it in the trash, but get interesting books, they, unlike the TV that harms your brains, will develop your brains. Being smart in our time is vital, the world is beginning to move along the path of technocratic development, it is increasingly beginning to need smart people capable of solving complex problems. Illiterate boobies today are a dime a dozen, who consider banter to be a manifestation of wit and appreciate flat jokes. You won’t hear anything worthwhile from them and you won’t expect anything smart, and they don’t read books, they aren’t interested in them. Such people will proudly declare to you something like: “We live on earth, we didn’t finish the academies!”, And that’s it. Well, you yourself know where such boobies are, and if you want to take a worthy place in life, take the time to read books and useful articles, it will not decrease from you, rather the opposite. And you don’t need money for this, at least a lot of money.

Well, I think you understand everything and you will find something to do without resorting to the use of money, so I will allow myself to return to the topic of creativity, to which I attach special importance. You will deal with your affairs, I am absolutely sure of this, but you need to somehow solve your problems with money, so as not to limit yourself in anything and not deny yourself anything. Your lack of money is a great opportunity to learn how to earn it the right way. I declare with all responsibility that developing all kinds of business plans and setting the most ambitious goals for yourself is best when a person has no money at all. Even a business is best created from scratch, I myself was convinced of this. My first business was pretty damn simple, I followed the example of many of my acquaintances and got into trading. But in order to, so to speak, fit into this business and grab my piece of the pie, I came up with a lot of tricks that helped buyers notice me against the background of other sellers. I attracted buyers to me like a magnet. The first and main thing that I emphasized was the quality of service, which, in my opinion, should have been as competent, courteous and fast as possible. Later, when I started hiring salespeople, I selected professionals for myself, sparing no expense on their salaries. I was even ready to put up with theft in moderation by some of them, realizing that many steal, if only they would work with people as professionally as possible. And it all started with the fact that I did not have money for any advertising there, there was no money for perfect arrangement my retail space, and I needed to compensate for this with the most professional customer service. You will say that there is nothing surprising in this, that there is nothing new in this, that the client is always right and so it is known, and in general all salespeople are taught the ability to communicate with people correctly. That's true, but how can you say that the service in our stores is exactly what it should be? Even if you look at latest news, which talk about incidents in large retail chains, in which, from my point of view, incompetent sellers and managers were to blame, who do not know how and do not want to work with people as a human being and as professionally as possible, it will become clear that with the service we have things are not going well. So I did not come up with the very concept of working with buyers, with clients, I came up with ways to implement it. I don’t think that rude sellers add popularity to retail chains, but how can the leaders of these chains turn these sellers into normal people who will work professionally? That's the question, friends. And I solved it, at the very beginning, when I created my first simple business. Workers need to be able to motivate, and for this you must first learn how to motivate yourself, for which you need to feel the need to learn to understand, if not all people, then most of them. It’s not difficult to do this on an empty stomach, believe me, so if you don’t have money, starve, it will only benefit you.

In general, friends, if it so happened that you don’t have money now, but you have free time- enjoy it! God took pity on you and gave you the opportunity to find the door to new world where you have a lot of possibilities. Let your creativity and fighting character to prove yourself, set yourself ambitious goals and forget about money as a way to achieve them. Rely only on your head, it seems to be always with you. Keep in mind that money, to a weak person, does more harm than good, it interferes weak people be predators in this life. Money is good only when a person, thanks to his hunting qualities, was able to get them, they become a reward for a strong, intelligent, courageous, creative, persistent person. And for someone who does not have all these and many other strong qualities, money is harmful. So forget about money and do whatever you want, you will succeed in everything if you rely on your mental abilities, and not on money.

We offer best ideas things to do in your free time. It definitely won't be boring!

To be honest: I sometimes envy people who have free time, and those who have so much of it that they simply don’t know what to do drive me into a stupor.

How can a modern adult not be constantly busy?

How does he find time to fool around and get bored?

Who are these people who ask?

But since demand creates supply, and such questions have become more frequent, I decided to quickly prepare an article on this topic.

I have compiled for my readers a list of leisure activities that will not only be interesting and enjoyable, but will also benefit you.

So much free time - what to do with it?

The sports club that I visited in Kyiv was often visited by glamorous young ladies - the children of fairly wealthy parents and the wives of non-poor people.

Once in the locker room, one complained to the other that after her son hired a nanny for the whole day, she had too much free time, she had nothing to do.

My husband doesn’t allow me to go to work, and you can’t fill up beauty salons, shopping and the gym all day.

This carefree, like a bird, young woman really complained to her friend about the hard lot and the satrap husband, who does not want to give her a beauty salon or a boutique, so that she does not languish for days on end from boredom, so that she does not think what to do in her free time.

A friend suggested that she take up some kind of hobby.

To which the young lady replied that she already has a hobby - she collects original branded shoes.

I ran away on my own business, but I couldn’t get the conversation between two glamorous girlfriends out of my head.

On the one hand, what woman does not secretly dream that her life will consist entirely of shopping and beauty salons.

On the other hand, I was simply horrified at how boring life girls from high society lead.

They simply have nothing to do in their free time.

What to do in your free time if you don't have much?

If you are as crazy as I am, then your day is scheduled by the minute and free time in such a busy schedule appears infrequently.

The best thing to do if you have a window is to relax.

You can just sleep off - this is very relevant advice for me, otherwise I often repeat to you about the importance of the 8-hour healthy sleep and I disregard my own advice.

Resting does not mean lying on the couch all day.

Although, if such joy falls out to you infrequently, then it is quite possible to sacrifice one day so as not to leave the house anywhere, but just relax, read interesting books, watch new movies, etc.

Can do more an interesting activity on your free day:

1. Go for a walk in the park or in the woods for a picnic.
2. Go to the cinema or theater.
3. Visit an exhibition.
4. Play billiards, bowling or something else.
5. Ride a bike.
6. Go on an interesting tour.
7. Go to .
8. Spend the whole day with your loved one.
9. Organize a party for friends.
10. Do something extreme: skydive, fly hot-air balloon, ride an ATV, take a horse ride, etc.

Cleaning in your spare time

To be in a clean house without a single speck of dust is very pleasant, you must agree.

If you have enough free time, then you can do general cleaning your housing.

That is, not just to perform a traditional ritual (wipe the dust, vacuum, clean the plumbing), but also get to where you used to get infrequently, for example, to a closet or under a refrigerator.

You can do spot cleaning. For example, to do such important things:

• clean up the wardrobe - give the poorer relatives those things that you no longer wear, so you make room for new things;
• sort the books on the shelves;
• put things in order in the kitchen cabinets, clean all the dishes;
• defrost and clean the refrigerator;
• sort out a cosmetic bag, or maybe there are funds lying around that need to be thrown away;
• sort out documents, checks, technical data sheets and get rid of everything superfluous.

It is not necessary to do cleaning in the traditional sense of the word.

Here's another what to do in free time may my readers:

Go through all the photos that are stored on your computer and create full-fledged albums from them.

If you know how to use a graphics program, you can make a photo collage or image layout for printing on a T-shirt or cup.

1. Organize your playlist and video library.

Refresh the list of books you want to read and cross off those you have already read.

The same can be done with films.

2. Putting things in order in the folders of your work computer - hands never reach this point.

In your free time, you can do your own education

Generally for self-education and mental development you always have to find free time.

Arguments: “I don’t read books / I don’t watch educational videos / I don’t attend courses and because I don’t have time for this” are unconvincing.

No matter how busy your work schedule is, you need to feed your mind daily.

People who had enough free time simply God himself ordered to sign up for some courses (computer, foreign languages, driving, etc.) or personal development training.

Maybe even the second higher education get it if there is a lot of time - it will definitely not be superfluous and will help you do something useful for 4-5 years.

If there is not enough free time to attend some courses or trainings, then you can make a one-time educational campaign and do the following:

• read a useful article;
• watch a motivational video or documentary;
• learn a dozen foreign words;
• learn a computer program;
• to learn something new - yes, even to weave beads, because any knowledge and skills will not be superfluous.

A fairly wide list of things to do in your free time,

also featured in the following video:

What else can you do in your free time?

As for me, the proposed options are quite enough to interestingly and usefully spend your free time.

But I myself love it when from the abundance of options you can choose the one that suits you perfectly, and I think that among my readers there are the same people.

Here are some more for you interesting ideas things to do if you have free time:

Volunteer activity.

Animal shelters, groups that help the elderly, homeless people, the Red Cross and other charities are waiting for you.

Beauty day.

This advice is more relevant for girls, but still.

Dedicate the whole day to your loved one: visit the spa or arrange it at home.

And so that such beauty does not disappear - go on a visit in the evening or somewhere else.

Culinary experiments.

If you like to cook, but do not have enough free time for it, then on the free day you can start preparing some kind of complex dessert or exotic dish.

Invite your friends for the evening to try your culinary masterpiece.

As you can see, there are enough ideas for pleasant and beneficial conduct leisure.

If you are not lazy and drive enough active image life, then the problem what to do in free time, won't bother you too often.

What to do when there is nothing to do? What to do with yourself here and now, when all the interesting books have been read, the sites have been visited, there are a lot of films, but there is still nothing to watch, there is no one to call, just as all the toys have been completed?

1. Remember your childhood and build a fort (tent, nest) out of sofa (and other) pillows and blankets, barricade yourself there with a book, or at least charge a fee for passing through “your lands” with sweets, interesting tips about pastime or promises to go to barbecues in the countryside.

2. Pick up a camera or at least a smartphone and go pretend to be a professional photographer: crawl after insects, try to isolate a branch from a lush bush and shoot it as if it were at least a masterpiece of sculpture, try to capture funny shots of cheerful and active youth in a crowded place or dogs in a walking area, etc. We know you have long wanted to try your hand at this!

3. For girls: take guaranteed unnecessary dresses, scraps of fabric, maybe fashion magazines for inspiration (finally get on the Internet), and set yourself free: try to make a trendy piece of clothing out of a throwaway item, without limiting yourself to using scissors, another similar clothes, sequins, beads, etc., etc.

4. Finally, put in order in albums pictures from last summer or family photos from a long time ago.

5. Practice mixing and inventing alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails - depending on your age. Cold and hot. Including with your own freshly squeezed juices. The Internet will help you.

6. Try something you've never done before: write a story or a poem, a song with a famous theme, try cooking with alcoholic ingredients, arm wrestle with a friend, play Go, teach your dog new tricks or parrot rhymes, build a maze for your a rat or a hamster, come up with the scenario of the best party in the world (there will still be an opportunity to realize it!), go out, try to set fire to the paper with a magnifying glass, etc.

7. Take your girlfriends downtown for window-shopping in luxury stores looking for inspiration and ideas for your shopping in more affordable stores.

8. Invite people you know (make friends, too) to a sleepover and watch horror movies together (really bonding!).

9. Experiment with homemade beauty products, enjoy using them afterwards on yourself: from bath bombs with dried petals and / or glitter to scrubs and masks.

10. Get to know your neighbors better: invite them for tea or something stronger, ask them to teach you something if the neighbor (ka) has free time and some talents that interest you. If you live in a friendly house, arrange an evening dance, inviting everyone outside and putting speakers on the windowsill.

11. Understand your playlist or CDs. Find a place where there are selections of music according to certain criteria (by the way, on the same trackers, from where it is not at all illegal to download something, it is enough to focus on their winning selections), discover new music, make playlists for different moods and cases. Including record a disc called "The Soundtrack of My Life".

12. Have a belly feast: order a good pizza sometime, buy beer, shrimp, chips and sweets, and collapse on the sofa in front of the TV.

13. And again fall into childhood for a while: pour a bath and launch boats in it (paper, walnut shell or radio-controlled), bubble(lying in the water) or fish with magnets.

14. Go fishing in the countryside for a day.

15. Read, but not just a book, but a book based on your favorite movie or on which your favorite movie was shot.

16. Start a journal and keep it all summer every day so that next summer you will evaluate your views on life and the joys of a year ago.

17. Make a wall collage of your favorite photos that will delight you for at least a few years. Including it can be done on a memory board.

18. Try to draw a self-portrait. Or make faces, take it all down and post it whole line such pictures to your blog, and then read the comments.

19. Make an experimental super-custom lunch "from what's in the fridge." For example, a pie with chicken, crushed chips and oranges.

20. Go to the park to do your usual activities: read, chat on a forum or social networks through a tablet, write, draw, etc. You can do the same on a swing.

21. Buy kits for young experimenters (growing crystals, creating chain mechanisms, etc.) or find something similar on the Internet and discover the aspiring scientist in yourself.

22. Recolor a boring white t-shirt, scarf, laces or white sheets into a multi-colored psychedelic-hippie "boil".

23. Make sweet ice cream out of natural juice with pieces of fruit.

24. Type in the search engine the name of your favorite topic (from new technology to dolphins) and read everything that is interesting on the topic.

For 25 more ideas, see the second part of the article “How to keep yourself busy when there is nothing to do? 50 entertainment for 2-6 hours, part 2.

Unfortunately, such pleasure as free time is becoming less and less. That is why most people do not understand how to spend their free time productively and just lie back on the couch, but this is not best holiday. And the best can be called a change of activity, which we will now do.

Work and study

It is children who always know how to entertain themselves and those around them if they have some free time, but those who are older lose this wonderful gift for some reason. To the question of what to do in their free time, if it started up at the workplace, many adults, both students and those who are languishing from overwork, answer tritely: surf the Internet, play online games. But there are also such entertainments that will develop your creativity and intelligence, as well as help you relax for real.

Men's affairs

If a man has free time, it can also be spent with benefit. And a girlfriend or wife. And for this you do not need to pay money at all.

• Board games. Any, from card, to the most complex role-playing and intellectual. You can even remember the forgotten monopoly. If your child is already in school, it is also quite possible to involve him in this entertainment. And you can even make a schedule of games for the whole week. They are even more interesting and livelier than computer ones, by the way.
• Bath trip. Sauna or bath will not leave any member of the stronger sex indifferent. But do not take beer and fish - better Herb tea. So the steam room will be much more useful.
• Just a walk. It is possible in the yards, it is possible to the nearest lake. And it's very nice, and useful.
• Sport. And only he. If there is not enough money for a sports club, or there are no clubs in the nearest quarters, horizontal bars will do, as well as football with neighbors. In winter, you can flood the field and play hockey.
• Hobby. A man should have it too. So there will definitely be joy in life, and time will not go to waste: if there is any, we just go to our garage or to chess and have fun. You can even arrange a chess club in the yard, then there will be plenty of communication.

What to do when there is nothing to do? You can, for example, solve a logical problem:

“Oleg lives on the 4th floor and, in order to get home, he climbs 60 steps. His friend Ivan's apartment is on the 2nd floor. Question: how many steps does Ivan have to go through to get to his apartment? It would seem that everything is simple: 60: 2 = 30. However, this is the wrong answer. The answer, its explanation, as well as additional tips for combating boredom can be found in the sections of this article. What to do if you get bored?

Sign up for an interest club

Nothing invigorates like an interesting polylogue among like-minded people. They can be found in close circle- in family, friends, colleagues. If this is a problem, then specially organized circles will help. In them, people discuss topics of interest, share knowledge and skills, and help in a common cause.

It can be:

• meetings to discuss specific issues (voicing and evaluating opinions);
• gatherings of cooks, gardeners, cutters, carpenters ( practical advice and doing things you love together)
• meetings of those who wish to learn something new (learning languages, needlework, programming);
• dating evenings (for friendship, relationships, business partnerships, etc.).

What to do if boredom overtakes the workplace? You can sign up for a variety of courses or master classes for the weekend, after hours in advance via the Internet. It doesn't always cost a lot of money, and sometimes even for free. You can get acquainted with the information with interruptions, so when urgent matters appear, it will be easy to break away from the lesson. At the same time search the right organizations, their conditions, phones and addresses will take a person for a long time.

Replenish the ranks of volunteers

Of course, this activity can only be suitable for people with an active lifestyle. Volunteers gather to help orphans, homeless animals, the elderly, victims. This work requires sincere zeal. However, even if there is no certainty that you will like this business, you can still try, because:

• doing good disinterestedly, a person feels a surge of strength, energy and warmth. Thanks to this, his mood improves;
• Volunteering is always relevant. This is work that can be done at any time - when there is a desire or just got bored;
• such work often brings together optimistic, good people. A good environment has a positive effect on a person, charging him with positive. BUT happy people always know what to do;
• after all, trying to help others doesn't hurt anyone.

If you get bored, and there is not much free time, you can spend it on searching charities. Thanks to modern technologies and the Internet, it became possible to provide material assistance to those in need directly through the network.

Charitable foundations, collections for the treatment of one person, organizations for the fight against violence, extermination of animals are just a few examples. Even the minimum amount that is spent on one-way travel around the city can be decisive and save someone's life.

Take care of your appearance and development

Diligence - for work, support and care - for the family. But what about for yourself?

There is nothing wrong with being a little selfish and periodically devote all the love only to yourself. However, this does not apply to the indulgence of self-love or the indulgence of unreasonable whims. It's about about self-care - external and internal.

• To maintain health and fitness.

You can exercise by joining the gym. It's a good idea to run in the park when it's warm, or go skiing in the winter. Moreover, sport at work is, it turns out, real. If desired, it is easy to organize brisk walking, squats, a small warm-up of stiff muscles, going down and up stairs.

• To preserve external beauty.

Girls and women can visit a beauty salon or arrange it at home, make nourishing masks for the face, hair, body, try new methods of personal care.

Men also like to look good. That is why going to the barbershop, clothing store, perfumery will be useful and pleasant pastime. Even if there is still a whole week before the salary, and there was nothing suitable among the goods, there is still a benefit. First, this good way understand your taste, desires. Secondly, such leisure relieves boredom.

Little time? Then you can spend it on studying fashion, existing styles, methods of caring for your appearance, clothes, accessories. Replenishment of theoretical knowledge will tell you what to do on a freer day.

• For active and effective self-development.

As idle water turns into a swamp, so a person who does not strive to develop degrades. To bring yourself back into a “mental” tone, you can enrich the spiritual world by reading a book or watching a movie with meaning. Going to the theater, museum, opera, philharmonic, other cultural institution will also help to reveal the spiritual principle.

Find out what's new

In order to put the tips from the previous point into action, you first need to familiarize yourself with the latest cultural updates in detail. You can watch the movie rental tape, the theater repertoire, the schedule of general performances and solo concerts of your favorite performers.

For this, a computer or phone with an Internet connection is suitable. The network allows you to view the programs of establishments of an entire city or even a country. This helps you choose the best option for yourself and not get into a mess.

The same goes for stores - bookshops, grocery stores, music stores, etc. You can compare different characteristics and choose desired item, even if you still have to buy it in point of sale. This will reduce the length of stay in the store, eliminate indecision before buying. And obsessive sellers, consultants will not be able to persuade you to buy a completely different product.

Another advantage is that shopping centers, markets, large stores often have mobile applications or websites that indicate current promotions. Needless to say, the time usefully spent looking at information will fly by unnoticed?

Find answers to your questions

Each person has questions that seem not very important and for which there is always not enough time. Often they have nothing to do with work, life or hobbies. This is information of a general educational nature - searching for a description of the types of temperament, finding out how to screw in a light bulb correctly, what a fall is dreaming of, for example. Often such thoughts appear before going to bed. “I'll look in the morning,” a falling asleep person thinks, and the next day he completely forgets about the existence of the question.

Psychologists say that such riddles are extremely useful for keeping the brain active. In order not to forget about them, experts recommend leaving a notebook with a pen near the bed. When interesting ideas, questions, it is enough to enter them in a notebook.

If the thought slipped away in the middle of the day, you can take a horizontal position. In this position, the brain receives more blood, works better, so it will be easier to remember the forgotten. Logic riddles are especially valuable. Here are a few examples that will perfectly brighten up the extra half hour.

• A dog has one, a cow has two, and a rooster has none at all.
• How not to sleep for 12 days?
• Lit private house and a five-story building. Which building will the police put out first?
• What river is in oral cavity human?
• How much boiled eggs can you eat on an empty stomach?
• Mark's mother has 5 sons: Eric, Derik, Rick, Rico. What is the name of the 5th child?
• Moses took all the animals into the ark in pairs, except for one. What?

And to the promise. The correct answer to the riddle tip+ at the beginning of the article is 20 steps. Explanation: there are either no steps on the first floor, or only three. Since the first man goes through a round number of steps, it means that in this house they begin after the first floor. Accordingly, Oleg climbs 60 steps, the inhabitants of the 3rd floor - 40 each, and Ivan - 20 each.

Make helpful lists

To keep yourself busy, you can create a to-do list for a day, a week, a month. Or a wish list. Or a list of goals. In addition, it is useful, since the list of important cases will always be in front of your eyes. This will make it easier to plan the day, help you see perspectives more clearly.

As for dreams, listing them on paper will make you think. Psychologists say that most human desires can be fulfilled in just a week with appropriate efforts. The list will push to the implementation of the plan. How then it will be nice to mark with circles completed tasks or achieved goals.

Whether these universal tips are useful and effective, everyone decides for himself. It does not matter what to do when there is nothing to do at work or at home: meditate or sleep, watch a movie or visit relatives and old acquaintances, go to the forest for mushrooms or walk in the rain. The main thing is not to be afraid to be alone with yourself, not to get depressed. But spending time with benefit is a great idea.
