Things to Fill Your Time With

Welcome to episode 23 of The What You Do Matters Podcast. In this episode, I am giving you the list of all lists! This is a list full of things you can do to fill your time when you suddenly realize that you have extra time on your hands.

This list is broken up into four different buckets and those are relationships, positive development, organization, and personal branding. Let’s start with relationships!

Relationships:

Now is a great time to connect with the community that is right in your neighborhood. You literally have a community that is right next door to you that can have your back during these trying times! These neighbors don’t have to be your best friends, but I do find it so incredibly valuable to build meaningful relationships with them. Here are a few ways you can do that:

  • Host a potluck dinner (social distancing style of course!)

  • Leave positive notes on your neighbor’s doorstep

  • Join a Facebook group for your neighborhood

Focus on positive development:

I think it is so important to focus on positivity rather than panic. Here’s how you can do that:

  • Pick something that you want to learn more about. Find all of the different avenues for learning about that thing!

    • Podcasts

    • Books

    • Magazines

    • YouTube videos

    • Documentaries

  • Use this extra time to get to know yourself better

    • Perform a Q1 review

    • Plan for 2020 if you haven’t already

    • Do some vision and values setting

      • I have a great exercise for vision and values so please feel free to email me at info@brittanyneish.com and I’ll send it over!

    • Take a personality quiz!

Organization:

Now is the time to tidy up. Not only can we use this time to tidy up our physical space, but we can also use it to tidy up our digital spaces.

  • Clean out your closet

  • Organize your pantry

  • Go through all of your cosmetics

  • Clean your makeup brushes!

  • Clean out your fridge

  • Organize your computer desktop

  • Clear out your email inbox!

Personal Branding:

In the age we are in right now, personal branding is becoming more and more important. Use this time to get clear on your personal branding!

  • Refresh all of your social media profiles

  • Update your resume

  • Dive into a journal prompt

    • Ask yourself what you think people are saying about you when you’re not there. Then text a friend and ask what they would think and see if those lists match up!

  • LinkedIn refresh

    • You can get a FREE LinkedIn Audit from me by sending me an email at info@brittanyneish.com.

There you have it. Those are all of my ideas for what you could fill your time with. Which one are you going to dive into? Let me know over on Instagram!
