Time is our most valuable asset, and wasting it is not good for your psyche. If you’re in line at the bank, stuck at the office or trapped at home hoping the plumber will arrive soon, you can do a number of things to enhance your life, and not just wait for the time to pass.
1. Get out your phone and do some work or play. You can listen to music, read an article or call a friend. If you use the time to relax or do something productive, that will help you feel better about having to wait for whatever it is you’re needing to do or get done.
2. Always be reading a book. It doesn’t matter if it takes you a year, because having a book you are leisurely meandering through is a great way to improve your mind and help you ease any tension you might be feeling. Audiobooks work great, too.
