Free time

Someone counts every minute in order to calculate their day and have time to complete the daily plan, while someone tries to make plans for their free time. Someone devotes their leisure time to the usual daily activities, and some try to come up with something new and try themselves in a new role.

I used to spend my free time doing my hobby, but it's not always possible to devote the whole day to it. I have only one day off, which is Sunday. I try to make the most of it for myself. Usually it looks something like this: I woke up in the morning and go to do exercises, after breakfast, and then free time. I usually spend the first half of the day exercising. I am involved in athletics, so the topic of sports is the most relevant for me. After that, my family and I go for a walk in the park or we go to some natural area where we have a picnic.

My parents built my upbringing in such a way that every day of my life should be scheduled by the minute, which makes me happy. I have almost no free time, I'm always doing something. On school days - this is school, after homework, and then training. I come home at 21:00 when it's time to get ready for bed.

I believe that every person should spend his free time with maximum benefit, because this is his life and his development depends only on him. You should not engage in empty pursuits that, apart from degradation, do not bring anything else.

I was taught from childhood to constant development and self-improvement, with which I 100% agree. My parents want me to grow up to be an educated and happy person, and for this it is worth working on myself every day.

Sometimes I need a rest from such a regimen, but it only catches me in the summer, when school ends, and I can only enjoy my training. Summer time is the brightest period when you do only your favorite activities. I distribute my day in such a way that I find time for training and for my hobbies, of which I have a lot.

Only in the summer can I calmly lay out all the colors in my entire room, unfold the drawing paper on an easel and create magic. It is during the summer period that I can disappear on the street for days with friends, not thinking about the fact that I need to do my homework and be in time for training, because it was in the morning.

I'm glad that I'm busy every day, but I, like any child, want to relax and walk outside with friends, so summer is my favorite time of the year.

Variant 2

The phrase "no free time" can be heard more and more often these days. Adults are busy with work and raising children, while pupils and students are busy with studies, attending courses and tutors, and household chores. Free time is a period when a person can do what he wants, or do nothing at all. Free time is called so because a person is free from the concepts of "should", "should", "must", etc. It may be more or less, but it must be present in the life of every person.

The modern way of life implies active employment, work from which a person gets tired physically or mentally, often simply "burns at work." To restore their strength, to calm down, everyone needs free time. For it to appear, you should plan your day and week, longer periods: a month or even a year. For example, every day you can allocate 15-30 minutes of free time, 1 day a week or vacation once or twice a year. This is free time.

It is equally important to plan your work so that you do not have to finish it at home at the expense of personal free time. The same goes for household chores: they should have their own time.

Everyone is free to spend his free time as he pleases. Sometimes it's good to sit in silence with your eyes closed, turn off your phone, wander alone in the park or take a walk by the river. Or vice versa, spend time in a noisy company, visit a cinema, a cafe, a museum. Many people devote all their free time to their favorite activities - hobbies.

Unlike workdays, which are subject to a precise routine and often almost the same, free time can be spent differently each time. It depends on the mood, the season. For example, in good weather, the best way for me to spend my free time is to take a walk outside: on the beach, in the park, in the forest. And in winter or cold autumn, I like to read books in silence.

Free time is not a whim and not a sign of laziness at all, it is a vital necessity. If a person does not rest, he turns into a workaholic, he develops depression, and illnesses appear due to physical stress. A chronically tired person becomes irritable, breaks down on others, often conflicts. Over time, he simply cannot rest, he does not know how, which further aggravates the situation. Therefore, it is so important to allocate at least a little free time from different things.

Essay about free time Grade 5

For a free person, all temporary resources are free, that is, in fact, he can dispose of these resources as he wants. Another thing is a sense of responsibility and personal free choice, which suggests, for example, choosing a certain profession and benefiting people.

If we talk about school time, then it is in a sense not particularly free, as children do not choose to go or not go to school. Therefore, for a student, free time is only the period outside of school, and even then not all, since part of the time needs to be spent on homework. As it turns out, schoolchildren are not really free people, they have leisure only part of their time and cannot always choose what to do.

In this regard, free time is so valuable, in fact, only during this period we can feel ourselves as people in the true sense of the word, that is, do what we really want. Leisure allows you to reflect on this world and your own destiny.

But how do we most often use our temporary resources, which, as we found out earlier, are the most valuable? Most often, we have fun or waste our leisure time by watching television or playing computer games. Sometimes the goal of leisure is not to think at all, so to speak, to relax the brain.

Although in reality the meaning is actually just meditation and getting out of everyday life, work on oneself. After all, if we use leisure to get carried away with some popular entertainment, then we again become unfree, that is, free time again turns out to be unfree. This dependence is manifested from watching some kind of program or videos on the Internet, a computer game.

It seems to me that for a truly free person, any time is free. Even when he is doing something forcibly, for example, studying at school, he can make such an activity free for himself.

Essay on the theme "Free time"

A person has the right to spend his free time at his own discretion. This refers to that which is not busy with the performance of duties, important matters. This is the most valuable resource in the world, you can do what you want, freedom is expressed in this. If people did not have free time, there would be no families, no friends. Life would be like a space movie where everything is planned to the minute. A person cannot live without rest, he needs it both physically and psychologically. In an essay on free time, I will tell you how I spend it.

My free time

I study at school, so my free time starts with the end of the lessons. I run it differently. At the end of classes, I can take a walk with classmates, go to the library with a friend. If my mother asked for something, before doing my household chores, I fulfill her request. In my free time I like to read, I try not to sit too much in front of the TV, at the computer, I know that it is harmful, although it is interesting.

On the weekends we get together as a family, talk on various topics, discuss pressing problems and questions. We like to receive guests, pay visits to others. I think such meetings bring people together, so I do not forget to make time for my friends. It’s not difficult for me to spend my free time doing an important thing, even if at someone’s request.

At school we are taught that everyone should be able to correctly allocate their time. If you are free from business, this does not mean that you need to lie on the couch all day. We should not just exist, but really live, be interested in what is happening around. I belong to the category of people who clearly plan their day, I think that I know how to value time. I don't waste it by sitting at the computer, chatting on social networks, I don't try to "hide" in the virtual world.

Benefits

Human life is short, time flies very fast. Don't make the mistake of thinking everything will work out. Young people often feel like they have a whole life ahead of them, but as you grow up, you realize how much free time has been wasted.

Mom advises that not wasting time pointlessly will help the goal. It doesn't have to be the only one, there can be many. Not so long ago I learned to cherish every minute, I do not forget to enjoy life, every moment.

Mini essay "Free time" (Var 1)

I will not deny that, like many people, I look forward to the weekend, or to be more precise, Friday evenings. Coming back from school on this day, some special mood is felt. Usually, I try to do my homework on Friday so that the weekend is completely free.
Weekend morning
Weekend morning, you can sleep a little longer, because there is no need to rush anywhere. Of course, it is not always possible to get enough sleep. Because often my dog jumps up to me and then the dream completely disappears. We start playing with it. It is very funny! At such moments, I laugh out loud, and Bobik barks.
Mom's food seems especially delicious on weekends. You can enjoy a family breakfast and not be in a hurry. And after that you can go for a walk in the park, which is located near the house.
Fishing
It happens that on weekends my dad and I go fishing overnight. I love it. We discuss different topics sitting by the fire, and in the morning we get up early and go fishing. I am not yet as experienced an angler as my dad, but sometimes I also manage to catch a fish. Then I am filled with joy. From the fish that we brought from fishing, my mother cooks fish soup, it turns out very tasty. Of course, Bobik also gets a tasty morsel.
I really enjoy spending time with my family. This opportunity usually only happens on weekends. Maybe that's why I love them. Sometimes you wish these days would last longer.

Mini composition “Free Time” (Var 2)

I don't have much free time. Several days a week I visit the sports section, and on Saturdays I go to chess. But still I have a whole free day on Sunday. Then I don't have to do my homework, because I teach them on Saturday.

I like to spend my day off among my family and friends. In good weather, my friends and I play football or basketball in the yard. And when it's cold outside and it's raining, we all get together at someone's house and watch some interesting films or play interesting games.
Very often on Sundays we spend the whole day together as a family. Sometimes we ride bikes or roller skates.
