Due to the pandemic, more than 80% of the people are locked at home. And we very well know we can't sit free at home, we want something to get involved in. Most people have developed new skills, some followed their passion, but still many people are still confused about what to do in their free time that too in a productive way.

Nothing is easy, we have to give time, search the web struggle it may take a week, a month it depends how dedicated we are. Many people especially the youth can't sit idle they need something to do something productive. I do have some ideas to use our free time productively as I also wanted to utilize my free time productively so I decided to share some with you and help you out.

1) Learning / developing new Skills :

This is the best thing we can do these days to utilize our free time productively. As we know, learning is something which can never be stopped, at every stage of our life we learn something so why not learn and develop some skills which will be helpful in our career and through which we will be able to earn something. These days due to digitalization competition has increased so much that possessing only 1-3 skills is not enough.
 
Some of the skills which can help us earn something or through which we can do start working part-time are as follows:

1. Affiliate Marketing
2. Digital Marketing
3. MS Excel
4. Web designing
5. Content Writing
 
These are just a few there are many other skills we just have to search the web according to our interests start learning those skills.

Some of the sites through which we can learn these skills free of cost are:

1. Youtube.com
2. Udemy
3. Linkedin Learning
4. Coursera
5. Google Digital Marketing
6. Edx
7. Harvard
8. Udacity
9. Skillshare
10. Futurelearn
11. Khan Academy

2. Reading Books :

Reading in itself is a very good habit that one should adopt. It is even very useful, we got to learn so much by reading books. It should be up to our choice or preference which types of books we should go for, nowadays there are so many options available for us. Even the e-formats of books are also available these days. If we adapt the habit of reading books, our mind will stay calm, we will be able to think from a different perspective, our communication skills will improve. This is also helpful for starting your own business, there are lots of books available of some famous personalities, their story through which we can learn and implement that in our own life.

Some of the books which I would like to refer to are as mentioned below:
1. Rich Dad Poor Dad
2. Who moved my Cheese?
3. Zero to One
4. Start with Why
5. The Inevitable
6. Good to Great
7. The Secret
8. The Alchemist

3. Focus on your health :

Our idle time is the best time for us to focus on our health and fitness whom we had taken for granted in our busy time schedule. But now that we have time, we can utilize it for our health and fitness. We can do this by starting our day with a morning walk for some fresh air, then we can go for some exercises or yoga and then finally meditation. Doing this regularly will have a very good impact on our body and mind, we"ll get less rid of diseases, we will feel fresh. Immediately after this workout session, we can go for a bath instead of delaying it. Then having a night of proper sleep is also a part of our good health, in the noontime, we can take asleep for 1-2 hours. Improving our diet is also a part of our good health.
 
So what I want to say is we can in our idle time give time to schedule our diet, our fitness routine and try to follow it because once we will start following it, we will follow it even in our busy time. It's totally our choice what we want.

4. Follow Your Passion :

Almost every person has a passion or a hobby which they are unable to do in their busy schedule, but now that we are idle we can focus on our passion or hobby, we can work on it, improve it,  do whatever is possible. We can't say that what if our passion or hobby becomes our goal, it depends on our dedication, how serious we are about our passion.

If you are passionate about cooking, you can daily try new dishes or try something on your own and then post the recipe of your dish on your youtube channel or other social media platforms.

If you are passionate about writing, you can go for blogging or content writing. There are many platforms where we can post our articles or blogs without investing a single penny. We can for freelancing as these days content writers get paid a good amount as a freelancer.

If you are passionate about acting we can create our reels on  Instagram and practice our acting skills there.

If you are passionate about teaching, you can start teaching in your free time. Nowadays, with online classes, the demand for online tutors has also increased.

These are only a few, there are many. What matters is exactly how we utilize it correctly because passion is something we love to do, we are interested in.

5. Spend time with our family :

This is the best time to spend with our family with our loved ones to whom we were unable to give time due to our work or studies. We can give time to them by going on outings with them, talking to them, doing fun activities with them. We can even plan some family gatherings where we will be able to spend time with our whole family, we will be able to play games with them enjoy with them. 

We can go out and meet our friends and spend some time with them whom we haven't met for a long time due to this busy schedule.

This is time is very precious, we should utilize it in the best possible way and also something productive in nature.
