When someone asks you what do you do in your leisure time, in that very moment it can be hard to answer. Some of us might go blank because we don’t exactly know the answer. Some of us might just go “leisure time”? What leisure time.

Anyway, in 2021 I decided that I needed more leisure time and I need to do a lot of activities that weren’t work. Since then I’ve done a lot of things depending on my mood and mindset.

Favourite leisure time activity

Reading

And not those self help books. I mean nothing against self-help books but I do love reading for pleasure. I have read so many in last three years. A little more than 100 to be kind of precise.

Watching something interesting

Be it netflix, youtube or viki. I love watching Kdramas, shows that have food, Studio Ghibli movies and things like that.
