Ever wondered, how this pandemic has changed lives? Or more simply, how it turned out to be forcing us to be more productive with rising hobbies and dreaming things that we all are avoiding and procrastinating for so long. Many of us, who are studying hard, have been given up on their hobbies back then because of the lack of time and attention it costs. And being a student, I can understand how you all keep on scrolling social media in your spare time or study when the quizzes are on your heads. Some of us follow the same boring routine that keeps us busy rather than productive. But this pandemic wakes up the sleeping hobbies for some and forced into a productive and active state while for some, it still doesn’t make them open the doors for it, to make a way in heart and turned the dream into reality. Well, every work needs a push of motivation so here are some of the ways that can make you productive and make yourself work on your hobbies and turn your dreams into reality.

GRAB A TICKET TO EXPLORE

I don’t know if it sounds suitable for you all, but believe me, the more you explore the more you uplift your soul. And when the soul is happy so do you. The best way to work on your hobbies and become productive is to have a little solo trip or a trip with your close friends or family. It is not necessary to go every month or week, but once in a year, you can spend some time away from negative energies and vibes and explore the natural beauty, that not only helps you in calming the soul but also make your mind fresh and ready to become productive and creative. So if you love writing, then you are gonna find a lot of interesting topics to write on.

SPEND SOME TIME ALONE

Spending some time alone definitely doesn’t mean having a nice peaceful nap. Although sleeping does enhances your capabilities, but sleeping a lot is not healthy so coming on my point, the more you spend some time in solitude with yourself, the more you will feel energetic but remember, you will only be happy when you will try to avoid all those swirling thoughts inside of your head that cause mood swings and is real obstacles between you and your dreams. Focusing on yourself, exploring your inner self, your likes and dislikes make you discover new things in yourself.

GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC

“one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” Bob Marley.

Listening to all sad songs only makes your brain to stop releasing happy hormones and as you all know, when you feel down, there is no way that you can become productive. The state of being happy depends upon good music that can help you feel enthusiastic. Playing some slow music in the background that uplifts your mood and then working on your hobbies can help you in becoming more creative.

A PERFECT SCHEDULE

Since everyone has a boring busy life, but doing all those things on daily basis should not stop you from working on your hobbies. A perfect schedule can help in making some time for you to spend working on hobbies and following that schedule will lead to a beautiful destination. How fantastic it is to achieve goals and working on hobbies at the same time.

SPIRITUALITY

Spiritual believes purify your soul from all kinds of worries. Trusting in God and hoping good in everything satisfy your inner self and when you are satisfied, you work more efficiently.

MEDITATION

Last but not least, practicing meditation improves concentration and also helps in increasing productivity. It not only make you more active but also it will make you do more work in the same amount of time.

It’s just about a little push of motivation and there you go. It is the situations of lives that makes it a little difficult or else nothing is impossible. You can achieve anything you want and can become way more productive than you think. Hobbies are the only thing that you love to work on but doing daily jobs just makes you busy. So are you still busy or trying to be productive?
