What to Do with 30 Minutes to Spare?
I received an email from a mother, who stated that she is
frustrated by having to wait 30 minutes or so while her daughter is taking piano
lessons, at Girl Scout meetings, etc. Oh boy…what some of us would give to have
an extra 30 minute block of time! Here are some suggestions I came up with to
fill that 30-minute wait in the car:
- Read a book
- Read a magazine
- Read an article pertaining to business or a hobby
- Work on a hobby, such as knitting, cross stitch or
crocheting
- Write a letter to a friend
- Send a card of encouragement to a business associate
- Make your holiday gift list
- Return phone calls
- Call an old friend you haven’t talked to in a while.
- Peruse catalogs
- Write in your journal
- Sort through some pictures to be used for
scrapbooking
- Take a nap
- Take a walk
- Take the dog with you and walk the dog
- Plan a theme for a scrapbook project
- Study your Sunday School lesson
- Run an errand that is nearby that you could complete
in 30 minutes
- Plan your menus ahead for next week.
- Start a card ministry for shut-ins and/or elderly in
your church/neighborhood
- Start a journal for each of your children stating
your feelings and love for them
- Take your laptop and work on a project
- Catch up on emails from your laptop or smart phone.
- Clean out your purse or wallet
- Take a dustrag and dust the inside of the car
I jotted these down in just a few moments. If you can
think of others to add to the list, send me an email at
bwestby@nomorechaos.biz and I’ll pass them along.
