For many of us, our days are busy, busy, busy. We’ve got every little detail organised in half-hour to hour-long chunks in our digital calendars, with everything from meetings to deadlines to even catching up with friends outlined in our diaries, even weeks in advance.
That’s why, when it comes to time for yourself, it’s so important to skip the complexities. You deserve simple leisure activities that require little to no setup time. Complex leisure choices just make life more of a chore, and, when you already have a commute and busy days, that’s the last thing you need to actually unwind and relax.
There are so many reasons why you should adopt simplicity as a standard for your leisure choices:
Accessible Leisure Can Be Enjoyed Anywhere, Anytime
Simple leisure, like a game on your phone, means that it’s immediately accessible whenever and wherever you need it. You could take the five minutes while waiting for your bus or train to arrive, playing a casino game on Kanuuna or completing a puzzle. The fact that it’s right there in your pocket, and all that you need is a charged phone (which you usually have) and an internet connection (same deal) means that you can immediately take a few moments to yourself to have fun and play without any special equipment, or a dedicated location.
Need a break at work, but don’t smoke? You’re set. Want to unwind while on public transport? Your mobile game has you covered.
Simple Hobbies Can Free Up Your Brain
There’s a lot to organise in any given day, which can make you feel at capacity for handling any more. If your hobbies require extensive setup or planning, it could mean you never end up spending time on them. That’s why you need some solid, go-to leisure choices that are simple and easy.
Have Your Hobby Set-Up Ready to Go
The good news is that you can simplify some complex hobbies by giving them a dedicated space in your home. Having an art room where you can keep all your art supplies out and ready can simplify a painting hobby, for example. Having your gaming console or phone ready to go can mean playing is faster and easier.
Opt for Hobbies with Minimal Setup
Alternatively, you can choose hobbies that require minimal prep. Doing so will let you spare yourself that irritating hassle and brainpower, allowing you to indulge in your hobby immediately without worrying about set-up or putting things away.
Of course, if you already feel like your brain has fritzed out, you can go even simpler than that, with easy-to-play games that take minimal strategising and maximise enjoyment, to help give yourself something easy and fun to focus on.
Solo Hobbies Simplify Organising
Simple leisure hobbies are, more often than not, solo experiences. This is fantastic, as it means you can always commit to it when you want and have the time. You don’t have anyone else’s schedule to contend with or organise around. You’ll never have to wait for another player to show up, only to get stuck in traffic or delayed on the tube. There are so many hiccups that come when you have to wait around for more players, whereas the simplest leisure choices are all about you, making them available when you need them most.
