What are the top 10 things that really are worth your time?

in #time7 years ago

I'm trying to optimize my daily life spending time with things that I will never regret and could have a positive impact not only for me but for the society as a whole.
1- Reading — books, literary magazines, articles. I never regret spending half a day reading because it’s enjoyable and educational
2- Watching sitcoms — it’s my self-comfort thing and as such it can’t be a waste of time; also I like sifting through them so I can recommend to my friends who need happy TV too
3- Watching movies — some films are shitty but over the years I’ve developed a system that has helped me mostly avoid such mistakes
4- Spending time with my baby cousin — I have babysat her since she was born, and she’s 3 now; even when we’re just laying in bed watching Baby Einstein, I feel most at peace
5- Writing — even if it’s just lists, it’s a soothing activity and I get better with practice
6- Spending 5 minutes on Duolingo each day — a great habit that I try to maintain; eventually the little things add up!
7- Spending 5 seconds to list an expense — I like being able to keep track of where my money goes, and noting it the moment I spend it is better than waiting a month to track an accumulated pile of expenses
8- Bookhunting — I like going through thrift bookshops looking for cheap hardbounds and preloved paperbacks, and at the end of it I not only have new titles (for maybe 20 cents each sometimes!), I also feel like everything’s right with the world
9- Bookmarking seat sales, budget trips, interesting itineraries — I like to keep my eyes peeled for cheap opportunities to travel, so it’s both fun and won’t burn a hole in my pocket (also it keeps me excited about the world)
10- Spending 5 minutes on Wikipedia each day — Wikipedia is a black hole but it’s such a great repository of knowledge; I always learn something new even when I don’t expect to
