I thought I'd post on this subject as I really do feel that many people are being robbed of having a better life by either sport or TV, it's good to do something else for a change.
I stole these ideas off the interweb but thought it's pretty cool. I've spent countless years sitting in front of the idiot box so am doing this for my benefit as well.
1 - Talk to someone. Your spouse, or kids is a good place to start. Also, you might consider catching up with a friend or family member.
2 - Read. Magazines, newspaper, books, etc. It's all good, and good for you.
3 - Go for a walk. With someone or alone. It's healthy, plus you'll get a chance to talk with someone one on one if you take them with you.
4 - Take up a hobby. Guitar, woodworking etc. The thing doesn't matter. It's the doing that does. You can do it at home or sign up for a class. It's not that difficult and you might just have some fun.
5 - Go for a drive. Preferably somewhere you enjoy.
6 - Do a puzzle. Crossword, jigsaw, etc.
7 - Clean up the place. The house, the garage, your computer. There's always something that needs either cleaning or tidying up.
8 - Play with your kids. Enough said.
9 - Repair something. There's always something broken, why not go fix it.
10 - Learn something. Either at home, or away at a class or in a course. Learn a new language, get a degree. It's all possible.
11 - Write. Novels, short stories, poems, songs or letters, e-mail. Your choice.
12 - Play a sport. Basketball, volleyball, football, baseball. There's a ton of them to choose from, all good for your physical health, plus the social aspect will help keep your mood light.
13 - Do some landscaping. Yard work. It's all out there waiting.
14 - Go out for a long dinner. Preferably with someone you like.
15 - Plan an event. Family, work, friends. Family reunion? Class reunion? A local dance?
16 - Visit a friend. Or an enemy. Someone. Anyone.
17 - Workout. At home or at a gym. Or go swimming play tennis.
18 - Play games. Board games, social games, any kind of game. Most of them are fun.
19 - Go to a bar. Shoot pool. Or go to a party.
20 - Make a fancy meal. What sounds good?
21 - Go somewhere you've never been. How about rowing a boat across a lake? Or go sit on a bench outside of a store at a strip mall and watch the people come and go.
22 - Go to a sporting or entertainment event. A ball game, or a play, concert or comedy club. Whatever you like.
23 - Go dancing. Regular or country. Both are pretty fun.
24 - Join a club. Computer, chess, dancing etc.
25 - Start a business. At home or with a parner. Whatever kind you like. You'll probably have some fun while doing it.
