There are people in this world who are always busy doing something. They feel like they’re wasting time if they’re not being productive. This might sound familiar to you because you’re one of them or you know someone who is. When was the last time you pumped the brakes and did something that was strictly fun and not a necessity for work, school, home or family?
Busy people need passion projects, too! Here are some useful hobbies that Cheryl Conklin from Wellnesscentral.info shared with us where busy people can learn online or with friends. After all, our mantra is to put useful things into practice (hence – practicewellnessnow.com)
Learning a New Language
You probably already know someone who’s using Duolingo or another free language app. These online programs are greater starting tools, but there’s no substitution for immersion learning. You can take a class with other students who are practicing the language, or find someone to practice speaking with you.
Cooking
While it’s possible to get through life without ever cooking for yourself, Time notes it’s healthier and more cost-effective to cook at home. If you don’t know how to cook, or even if you want to sharpen up your skills, try taking a cooking class with a partner or friends. A cooking class doesn’t have to be a big commitment. Some programs are just a few weeks long or one-offs. If you have a kitchen-savvy friend, maybe host a party where he or she offers a cooking demo for other friends.
Another option is to learn on your own by following new recipes (check out our recipes which include videos too), playing with a cooking app or watching video tutorials. Many novices pick up new cooking skills by following recipes, looking up what terms like “sauté” and “simmer” mean and experimenting in the kitchen.
Musical Instrument
You might think that playing an instrument is a waste of time unless you’re playing professionally, but think again. Music may be an emotional plea to the heart, but it can also be great for the brain. Per LiveScience, playing music improves memory, organizational skills, coordination, concentration and discipline among the many other benefits of playing an instrument. It even has social benefits when you play with others because you learn to be on a team, you develop the skills to play collaboratively with other instrumentalists and you get to spend time with friends.
Computers
Your New Career Awaits
Is your passion becoming something you want to pursue more fully? Whether you’re preparing to enter the workforce or you’re ready for a career change, advancing your education needs is probably at the top of your to-do list. For instance, a love of computers can easily transition into a fruitful career choice. More than just a way to get past the screening process, the skills you’ll learn in an online IT degree program like those offered at WGU will do more than get your foot in the door (although they’ll certainly help you do that too).
Maybe it’s not your thing to play games, watch TV, or consume other media to pass the time. Maybe you’d rather be doing something constructive with your time, but you feel that you’re too busy. The truth is that you’re not too busy for a hobby. In fact, you’re probably not too busy. Everyone has a little bit of free time, so why not use yours to learn a skill that can be useful in your everyday life? Life is too short to not have a pastime.
