Recommended ways for girls to spend their free time (1–10)
Cleaning up the room
Tidying up your room is one of those tasks you can’t get motivated to do unless you’re truly free—so it’s exactly the kind of way to spend time when you’ve got plenty to spare.
As the saying goes, “A messy room reflects a messy mind.” By cleaning your space, you might feel refreshed and even notice things you’ve been overlooking.
Even if you’re the type who stops after every little step, as long as there’s no urgent reason to rush, there’s no harm in taking your time and enjoying it.
Once your room is clean, you might come up with new things you want to try, so give it a shot.
solo karaoke
Solo karaoke is a great way to spend your me-time—it helps you blow off daily stress while also passing the time.
You might think of karaoke as something you do with a big group of friends, but going alone is fun because you can sing your favorite songs as many times as you want, and you don’t have to worry about singing songs no one else knows.
It can also be a meaningful way to practice for the next time you go with a group.
It may take some courage at first, but once you get used to it, going solo feels more relaxed—and if you love singing, it’s sure to become addictive.
Reading
For those who aren’t used to reading print books, it can feel a bit daunting to start, but reading can turn your free time into something truly meaningful.
Unlike manga and other comics, novels only have an illustration every several pages, but that allows you to freely imagine the scenes.
If you’re working, reading books that expand your knowledge or lift your spirits can enrich your daily life.
And if you really find reading text difficult, manga and similar formats are perfectly fine—please try to find a book that lets you immerse yourself in another world.
Aiming to obtain a qualification
If you’re a working woman, chances are you’ve thought about wanting to expand your skill set.
For those who find themselves with free time but bored of the usual entertainment, I recommend studying to obtain a certification.
Starting something new while working every day does take effort, but by using your spare moments to steadily study toward a certification, you can pass the time while reliably leveling up.
It’s a way to spend your time that becomes so meaningful you’ll feel like you don’t have enough of it—try it as soon as the idea strikes you.
Polishing myself through makeup and fashion
When it’s time to head out, many people—especially women—find themselves worrying about their makeup and fashion.
If you’re afraid to try something different on the day of, use your free time to study and refine your personal style—you’ll find it very worthwhile.
There are countless combinations of makeup and outfits, and if you include the time it takes to go buy any missing items, you could easily spend an entire day and still not have enough time.
It’s a perfect two-for-one: you can pass the time and become even more stylish than before.
to cook
During boring times, why not secretly improve your cooking skills without telling anyone? On days with no plans or when you suddenly find yourself with free time, cooking for fun is a very meaningful way to spend it.
Your stomach will be satisfied, your cooking skills will improve, and it’s a win all around.
Of course, enjoying the dishes you made yourself is happiness in itself, but it’s also wonderful to serve them to friends and family and see them delighted.
Special recipes are great, but quickly whipping something up with leftovers at home helps reduce waste, too.
Enjoy delicious and fun moments through cooking.
study English
In today’s society, where global competencies and perspectives are in demand, English is one of the skills you’ll want to acquire if possible.
Many Japanese people, in particular, struggle with English compared to the global average, and quite a few find it hard to get started unless they have mental space and time to spare.
Conversely, precisely when you do have that mental and temporal leeway is the best time to commit, allowing you to spend your time in a truly beneficial way—not just killing time.
It’s a meaningful way to use your free time that can help you transform into someone who stands out in the eyes of those around you.
