I think that free time is a precious thing for most of us. When were working hard, its nice to imagine what well do when the weekend comes. We juggle one idea with another, trying to decide what best suits our budget and the amount of time we have. After all, anticipating free time is part of the pleasure.
Its good to plan what were going to do with our free time. That way we wont waste any of it trying to decide. Its so easy to just sit around and think about this or that activity. Before we know it, half the day is gone. If we decide ahead of time, We can get started in plenty of time, and we can get the most benefit out of the time we have. For instance, if were going on a picnic, we can get all our supplies ready to go. Or if were going to a movie, we can find out the time and how long itll take us to get there. Also, if we plan what were going to do with our free time, we can invite others to join us. If we wait until the last minute, our friends may have other plans.
On the other hand, its also fun sometimes to do things without a plan. We can just leave the house and walk around and see what catches our attention. Often, this is how we discover places we never knew existed. We might end up doing something we never thought wed try. We might just happen to find ourselves outside a new bookstore or a bowling alley and go in on a whim, because we have some free time.
Its nice if we can have the best of both worlds. We can plan our free time activities for one day of the weekend, and let the other day plan itself. This way our free time also gives us the enjoyment of having it both ways
