What would you do What would you do if you had a couple hours of free time each day but HAD to remain inside your house during that time? My place is spotless, and laundry is done, so looking for answers aside from housework. Thanks :) |
Free time? How wonderful. I would read, or flush and ink up a few of my fountain pens and write a couple of letters, or write a journal entry, or watch that DVD I bought 6 months ago and never had the time to watch. Maybe I'd brush my dogs, take some pictures, and post them to my facebook page. I could make my friend a music CD of artists I know he likes. Wait, I know. I'd start that watercolor sketch I've been meaning to do... But in reality, I don't have a couple hours of free time. Lucky you! |
I love your list. Yes, I have it every day while my youngest naps. One can only clean and do so much laundry. My mind tends to think about wine at this point, so searching for ways to keep busy. |

Watch a film or read. Something hilarious preferably :) xxxx |
I can't even imagine the luxury of having 2 full hours of free time to myself each and every day. I would personally play guitar, read, and take one of the many online classes that i had planned on taking if I ever had the time. Other things you could do in your own home: Yoga, stretching/relaxation techniques. Baking/canning/preserving food. Light remodeling - painting, etc... The list is as long as you want to make it...have fun! |
Online Scrabble!! :c015: |
Think Snoozy would agree with you on that, purple x I have quite a bit of free time as I'm learning about myself while getting stronger in sobriety every say. So not pulling any trees up just yet just gently gently, catch a monkey, whatever that means. I am going through my home clearing and cluttering, I was a bit of a hoarder, but now my head not so jumbled my life is getting clearer. I'm rambling again x |
How about doing a puzzle. When i was getting sober my sponsor and therapist both recommended doing it as it kept my mind busy. |
Since you have this time every day, how about something longer term. Check out all the free online courses at iTunes U and find something that interest you. Or if you're really adventurous, learn a new language. |
I watch a lot of tv in my downtime. Currently watching all the seasons of Northern Exposure. In my first recovery, I watched all the seasons of BUffy THe Vampire Slayer. I also watch movies (working my way through the Coen Bros films) and docos. I knit or crochet blanket squares for charity while I'm watching. |
Wow, all awesome suggestions - thanks so much! |
I learned to crochet from youtube :-) |
You could spend your free time on this website :ring |
Lol, I already spend way too much time on here!! |
Do you know what smashbooks are? Maybe you would like to make one or more of those. They are chaotic and there is no need for "order" which is nice. It's good for the soul to have some personal time :) |
writing in a journal always helps me and if you have two hours of free time....maybe...you could fill up some time with that. You could exercise....draw...paint....take a nap....cook....read....meditate....start a blog.... |
Things I'd love to do:

What's smashbooks, MsJax? |
Read a grapevine! |
