Unproductive Days

 

As a university student, I hardly have free time to waste. But when I do, I'd like to do nothing & just lay around. Some might say you should find a useful hobby to do in your free time. But I think it's okay to just do nothing sometimes. Once a week, I take a day to make myself into a sloth.

When I end up sleeping 'till the afternoon, it automatically becomes an unproductive day. Because after I wake up, I have no energy to do anything even though I just got hours of sleep. I mostly just lay on my bed, on the couch, and sometimes even on the floor, watching random videos on YouTube. I mostly listen to crime podcasts. I know I've had enough of screen time when my eyes start to hurt. Then I switch to my adult coloring book while listening to music. Sometimes I do karaoke, but I get bored really quick. I also play games & watch my comfort shows over & over again. And when I feel too lazy to move a single muscle, I just stare into space & do nothing.

Some people think we should always do something productive all the time, even in our free time. Our brains are wired to engage in some activity all the time, & it's important to give yourself a break. It helps you refresh & regain energy the next day. I think it's okay to have meaningless hobbies. Because what's the point of giving yourself a break if you can't even do what you like?😉
