Make a joy list
Oh, the irony: Even when free time falls into your lap, you may have no clue what to do with it (which is how you end up roaming around Whole Foods). Think about what truly mellows you out, then make a list on paper or in your phone. Notes Schulte, “We often get stuck during leisure time because we try to choose the exact perfect thing to do—so if one thing on your list doesn’t appeal, pick something else!”
