At the beginning of the year, I listened to a podcast episode with Mike Rucker all about fun and how we spend our leisure time. Key takeaways?
⏰ Most adults have between 2 to 5 hours at their own disposal EVERY DAY. Don’t believe him? Check your phone stats.
😊 You don’t have to be happy to make time for fun, but making time for fun will (almost definitely) increase your happiness.
📝 Making a “Fun File” of 8-15 things that interest you and light you up a bit can help you to stop reaching for your phone when you’ve got a bit of downtime.
And so, armed with NO artistic experience or talent, just some curiosity, a few 10 minute sessions alongside my kids over the last two years and a couple of Instagram tutorials (), and VIOLA! This was SO fun. Like staying-up-after-the-kids go-to-bed fun. Like, my mind is looking at all the flowers/trees/landscapes I walk past now and noticing colours/shapes/angles. I definitely have the bug now 😅
Anyway. Go have some FUN!
