What do you do in your Free time

*WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR FREE TIME?*


Most times in our working and educational environments, we have free time. These free times maybe official or not.  I don't mean break time. Some times, it is up to one to two or even three hours depending on the nature of work. Besides, there are leaves, and offs. These hours are enjoyed by so many people daily, monthly and annually. The question is:what are you doing at this point?  Resting?  All right, that is good.You need to gain strength.  But do you actually mean you use all those hours to rest? Did you just say no? Then what else? Answer it within you.

Those who squander such times only on frivolities and hoping only on their salary are doing more harm than good to themselves. You see, the management or your boss in most cases will not tell you what to do at this time. Only you know in most cases when you are through with your official assignment, thus only you know exactly when you are free.

Those who are ambitious use such time to add more value and expand their world. I tell you this, of all the 18 books I have to my credit, I wrote 10 (ten) using the free time I had when serving as the storekeeper, in New Hope Hospital, Onitsha Anambra state, Nigeria. And this was how I created the free time for myself and used it to expand my world.

8 am was my official time to resume work, but I used to arrive at 6:30 or 6:45 am in most cases .This helped me to have on the average two to three hours free time daily. And only me knew about it. I used this period to read and thought about what value to add to my life. And today it is paying off. Meanwhile, most people have abundance of time in their places of work yet it has never occurred to them to think about what more to do that will help expand their world.

You see, only you know when you have free time, nay it is not always official. You can create your own free time in a way that will not affect your job if you a vision.  Begin now to make good use of those free hours. Don't just be there waiting for the closure time. If this is all you have been doing, it is time to change. Value is not hidden, when you have it,the world around you will know.

You see, you may not really do what I did with my own free time, but you can sure do something in that regard to add value to your life. Leave chatting! Leave the game! Leave unnecessary discussion! Leave!  Just keep focus in view all the time. The reason is that life is measured in time. If you waste time, you waste life.

And I ask :"what do you do with your free time? " Think about this. Greetings to y'all.
