Stop Procrastinating

I'm not talking about writing that report and cleaning out the garage after saying you would for 2 years.

All too often people procrastinate when it comes to having a good time, they actually do it almost as often as they put off work.

Go See the Sites

Studies have shown that people who live in tourist destinations see less sites in their entire stay there than tourists will see in a two week stay.

Often if these people who live there are leaving soon to move to a new area, they will crunch in some site seeing just before moving.

I'm easily guilty of this, even though I may not live in an area with any world famous sites. I still don't take the time to go visit areas I probably would if I was only in town for a couple of weeks.

Do you live in an area with any famous sites? Or even some that are just worth seeing when in the area, why don't you go visit them often?

Cash in Those Gifts

I've never been guilty of this one, but I know people who are.

Lots of people will get gift cards either for stores or restaurants and never use them. I was recently given a $50 certificate to eat out that my friend had held onto for 2 years without using.

Why in the world don't we use these?

I usually put gifts like this to use immediately. Who doesn't like to shop or eat out without spending a dime?

Get Out and Have Fun

Like I've posted before, exercise makes you feel better and happier. So going out and seeing sites, taking walks, hiking a mountain aren't just fun but are great for your body and mind.

With the economy still in rough shape and the holidays just ending, debt is probably a part of almost everyone's life.

So give yourself a break and take an hour of your time to go have some fun!
