How do you fill your time off work?

Lemoncello

My work is encouraging me to use my holiday days, which I haven't touched all year, but I'm not too keen.
I've structured my weekly routine around my job, and without it there I don't know what I'll do all day. Weekends I can handle, since they're just two days, but a whole week off work? I'm liable to sit around getting sad because my hobbies only take up so much time, and then when I do go back to work I'll struggle to get back into the swing of things.

Does anyone else dread taking time off work? And if so, how do you deal with it?

  • I find that making up a list of things to do helps a lot. It creates a sort of sub-routine to substitute for the missing work list. I tend to keep the same before and after work routine to make sure it's not too much of a change. But yes, I don't particularly like the change itself, but I do like the time dedicated to what I like.

    And yes it's things as simple as gaming in the morning after breakfast, lunch with a film, and gardening in the afternoon. Just having the plan helps lol. It also helps my partner usually finds lists of home maintenance things lol
