Is the first thing that comes to mind something that has to do with hobbies and how much you get out of them when you do them. Now you are probably wondering, what this means an example of this, is that hobbies is what makes life what it is, so do the things you enjoy to relax, workout, or watch television, or read or even do art projects or projects with string. Or even play music or a sport. These are just a few things that are considered hobbies and in the end can be great ways to keep your life going. This means that doing your hobbies while you are working and knowing how to take breaks from working and actually do your hobbies is great. An example of this could be, actually taking twenty minutes a day or an hour and reading that book that you keep telling yourself you are going to start. Or do that art project you keep telling yourself you are going to get around too. Or take fifteen minutes and clean out that annoying miscellaneous drawer that you keep telling yourself you will get around too it and have yet to do.
