Time is so precious, when we are young we have so much of it that it is so easy to just get lost into passing our time. As teenagers we don’t have many responsibilities. Often we only have to take care of our studies, some tasks at home and at work. At this point we either didn’t have to pay any invoices yet for insurance, repairs, taxes and so on. If there are some costs coming our way it could be paid by our parents first and then be repayed as soon as the money comes in. This luxury will no longer exist when you live alone.
If you are still a young adult grab this moment to consider on what you are spending your time. Later in life you will need to free up a lot of extra time for the necessary things in life. Like going for grocery shopping, repairing things in home or staying home for letting other take care of it, making sure your insurances are in check and everything is being paid in time. The sooner you free up time the better your transition will be. When you have opened up some time it’s an art to find something usefull to fill it with that can help you later on and that you can easily scratch if you need more time.
Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend. – Theophrastus
Usefull things to spend your time with is learning new things, working on your health, experimenting with different jobs at a young age, getting experience in job an new activities. One of the usefull activities is stretching and keeping your body active. It is such a small thing to do but it helps counter all the sitting we do at work, at school and at home. Alternatively you can try out new things that in the future could potentially become your side hustle. At first you are spending immense amount of times in it. Whether or not you manage to turn it in a side job you have learned many abilities. Writing blogs is my pass time to improve myself. It helps you with a new language if you write in a different language, improves your creativity and writing skills.
Some other side activities to turn end up earning you money later on are playing music, gardening, creating videogames, making videos, taking photos. All of these can be used to spend your time usefull and it can be used as a side – or fulltime job later on. There are a lot of possibilities that these can bring to you compared to browing the internet mindlessly, playing videosgames, looking on social media, watching TV and so on. Doing them for parts of your day doesn’t hurt. But constantly doing them will not bring a lot of benefits spending your time on it.
See which of these activities you like the most or what you can come up with. Because in the end it is not the most followed acitivity that will bring you the benefits but the one that you like the most that other people don’t even think about. Start it up easy by just implementing anything for only 20 minutes a day. Before you realise it you are on your way of achieving the goals you haven’t even set yet.
