So im currently unemployed (sort of on an extended holiday in the uk i guess) so i have nothing to do during the day, i have been exercising (couch to 5k and 30 day shred) but that only occupies 30-90 minutes of my day really. i also go for a few walks and such, but again, im not really walking 6-8 hours a day :P
does anybody have any tips on things to do during the day? im getting to the point where im just napping because i have nothing to do!
Any tips on keeping a schedule?

Any advice is appreciated! thanks!

    I would be applying to jobs during the day.....like that was my daytime job.

    If I didn't have to work, and had lots of time during the day, I would donate time somewhere that is needed. Shelter, etc

    Get books from the library.
    I am not employed at the moment. It is the first time in 10 years without a job so I am not in a rush to be super productive. I workout and clean, run errands etc. I also stare at myfitnesspal forever and imagine a skinny me. lol

    Explore! There is always something new to see no matter how long you have been somewhere. Have some fun for me, I am in Kansas. lol

    I just lost the job and what I do is doing something completely different from what I used to do. I'm by no means a handyman or craftman, but I want to build a wood-fired earth/clay oven. The Italian type. Anyway...I guess it will keep me occupied for a couple of months, and I do something useful for the house.
