Productive lifestyle, do you have it?

In our everyday lives, we slowly gain experience and with these experiences we become wiser and wiser. Most of the time, during a day off from the school or work, we tend to just sit back and relax which is pretty much normal as one might see it really rewarding. Imagine, though, that in your free time, you could have instead done something productive than just sit back and relax?

Plant more and later you'll reap more as you sow. I changed my mindset that a day without being productive is a completely wasted day. There should be no excuse.

I make such days productive by at least dedicating an hour to learning something, either to hone current skill sets or learn new ones and at times, I go out for a run for at least an hour too because your body is treasure, and you should take care of it. You'll never have more than one body.

A situation arises, wherein in your school you are given a project that requires you to read a book and memorize almost half of it. Anybody would have thought that reading books nowadays are boring and not fun but to those people that read in their free time instead, they are at an advantage. Reading such long textbooks wouldn't be a problem to those who read as a hobby.

This is an example where the skills you've tried to learn in your free time helps you. We will never know what situation will arise tomorrow or the day after that but at least, see learning and development as an investment to your future. You're helping your future self.

Make it part of your lifestyle to learn more and be curious. Enjoy the luxury of learning while you have the time, not when you grieve for the time you have wasted. I assure you, there's a bright path for us.
