Rest Days Are Boring, But I Feel Like I Have Not Enough Time To Go To Work.

I believe many people have the feeling that they are looking forward to a rest in their busy work, but when they rest, they feel bored and bored until the new week begins. It is not so much a paradox of rest and work that your leisure time is too inefficient. Today's help column, the efficiency of the day integrated some related content, to talk about improving the efficiency of the other side: how to rest more effectively, finally we will attach the original address, interested friends can browse in detail.

First of all, look at the reason: why is your leisure time boring? Before answering this question, let me ask you a question: what is the meaning of rest? I believe many people's answers will include these things: ease, pressure, no definite purpose and laissez faire. This impression comes from the education we received from childhood: "learning is learning, rest is a rest". When grown up, it becomes "work is work, entertainment is entertainment".

This view divides life into two parts: necessary and free, but the resistance to "necessity" and the yearning for "freedom". Let's impose a view on these two aspects: work to meet challenges, efficiency, results and entertainment should be relaxed, unstressed and undirected. This is the idea that has eliminated the pleasure you get in your leisure time.

Psychologists have shown that in their work, people feel more happiness and confidence when they create creativity, overcome challenges and show themselves fully. In leisure time, people lose their goals, often feel bored and bored, and are more likely to feel depressed and bored. This fact is easy to be concealed by some appearances: for example, unreasonable remuneration, no choice of working hours, and various kinds of workplace pressure, so that people generally wish to have less work and rest. So the contradiction at the beginning of this article is: people are looking forward to rest while they are working, while they are wasting their time mercilessly while resting, forming a psychological vicious circle.

The solution is to integrate the "goal" and "sense of achievement" that you normally think only exist in your work into your leisure activities and devote yourself to it.

You can try to recall what you did on weekends that you thought you had enough rest. This answer is the starting point for upgrading leisure activities. Below we list some activities that are "positive leisure":

• Learn a new skill: Such as painting, writing, carving, programming or blogging. It doesn't need to be proficient, so long as you can appreciate the fun of it; on the other hand, if you happen to choose the direction that you are not good enough to make progress, stop and you can not get along with yourself. After all, this is your leisure activity.
  
  
• Physical exercise: Use leisure time to enjoy your favorite sports, such as tennis and basketball, to enjoy their unique challenge atmosphere, as well as physical fitness.
  
  
• Close to nature: To travel, let the body move at the same time can relax, but before leaving, please elaborate the travel route and time, do not be too casual, so as not to just "passive leisure" place by the TV to the park.
  
  
• A "big" project: Plan and implement a large project that belongs to your individual (or family), such as writing a novel you always want to write, and thoroughly arranging your room with your family. A few months later, when you look back on this journey, you will get an unexpected sense of accomplishment.
  

Generally speaking, you will not arrange the above content to your leisure, and subconsciously feel that they are still working. But because these things are done by personal wishes, rather than forced by others, you will not feel depressed. The only thing you need to overcome is just a little inertia. Try it!
