Normally, you don't get enough free time to chill out! But, when you mindfully separate yourself from your smartphone, you'll find that you are actually getting a lot of leisure time which can be utilised in a more creative way. But alas, we all are totally addicted to our smartphones. If we believe the studies rightly, then an average person glances at his or her mobile around 80 times a day. Yes, you definitely should stop here. So, if you are ready to part with your phone for some time and are getting a lot of leisure time and looking for ways to spend it, then rest assured, there are numerous ways for it.

Exciting Things to Do in Your Leisure Time Without Your Smartphone!

During the last few years, we have been so engrossed in the online or virtual world, that we forgot that life existed in the pre-internet times also, and there were some really exciting things to do then. But, if you intend to bring those things and activities back to your life again, then utilise your leisure time best for their re- entry in your world. Below, we have listed some best things to do when you are free from the spell of your smartphone.

1. Grab an Interesting Book — Books are the best weapon to fight against any kind of anxiety and stress attack. It lets you travel to a new world entirely; and believe us, the feeling that you get while travelling through those pages is awesome. So, when you've got ample time in your hands, then why not grab an interesting book from the best selling books in Australia? Contact Alella Books for such exciting copies that are delivered to your doorsteps in the least possible time. Now sit back on your lounge chair and enjoy a calm time with your new friend – the book!

2. Play Some Board Games — Got kids at home? Then why not wean them out of their devices to enjoy a good match of board games? Never mind if you don't have children at home, just gather your family or call a friend and play a challenging chess game together. Well, the bottom line is to spend some fun and exciting time with your friends and family and utilise your leisure in strengthening bonds.

3. Sports is the Therapy — Did you know, most of us are unfit because we spend lots of our time engrossed in the mobile sitting in the same position for hours? So, let's break this barrier first. Go to the local club, or just head to your garden with a ball or flying disc or skipping rope and have a fabulous time. Or if you don't have any company, then you can always run a kilometre or so to get yourself back into shape and form.

4. Bake, Cook or Grill —You’ve got some free time, isn’t it? Then you can always prepare a yummy treat for your family members and friends to enjoy. And even if they are not there to have a feast with you, you can treat yourself to a delicious cupcake or a barbecue session in your house!

5. Sketch, Paint and Carve — Got some inborn talent and you aren't able to nurture it because of your regular work and super busy life? You can just keep your phone away for some time and take out a pen and paper and start drawing and painting. And if you have all the materials ready at home, just start carving the shapes that you planned to make some years back.

The options are endless – like gardening, scrapbooking, sewing/knitting/crocheting, and many more. Your leisure time is actually an opportunity for you to hone your creative side. Don't let it go in vain -- make the most of it. Yes, but without your smartphone.
