leisure time did you ever stop to think how much leisure time you really have some of us put our leisure time to good use and some of those microbes for example i went down to the bowling alley went over to the drugstore one of the gang was there all my friends are busy so what for me to do do you suppose can has more leisure time than his friends no i don't have more listen to that all right out by wire my life because you have so much leisure time time in which you can do things you enjoy time in which you don't have to  perhaps now let's look back a hundred years again and see someone else hey that's my dad why ten hours ten hours a day every day except sunday sixty hours a week why can let's take a look at your father's time is it really is us mother should hear you say that she's always complaining that she doesn't have enough time well let's see about that can you picture your mother as she might have been fifty years ago i guess  my this new washer certainly is a time saver and i do need some extra time now let's see i want to do some shopping but this first wait a minute this may be easier wor but it still looks like we're oh well i have to plan the program for the woman's club next month that's one of my favorite activities you know it does keep me busy but that's not what i do you think can well i don't have more leisure time now but still she's always busy how does she find so many things to do how can i find something to do with my extra time or for that matter what about you i don't know seems as if leisure time is a problem where let's see how your friends have met that problem i to friends were all busy  present way of spending is time and besides it helps him with some of his schoolwork you can learn quite a bit from hobbies is build some of his leisure time is spent doing part time work at the bookstore along with earning some spending money he's getting experience that will help him later on and alice is devoting some of her leisure time learning to so that's something she'll be glad she did when she's older and right now she gets a big kick out of it is the way marge spend some of her leisure time she's learning to play the piano she's getting a lot of pleasure from her own accomplishment and she's acquiring a skill that will help her socially and some of the fellows spend their time in group activities that are building them up physically as well as providing them with a lot of fun so that where there are doing no wonder i couldn't find them i'll bet you think i could figure out something to do with my time the question is how i know with the right kind of thing how i know i'm using my time well your father mentioned the bookcase he was making didn't remember how we worked at it last night mr michaels you well there you are do you see now can i think solve a good use of leisure time should give you a change it should help you learn things and well i'm not sure about the third it's a good idea to have a long range goal for your leisure time activities but it isn't always easy to find a single occupation that will give you all three values then you should have more than one activity it does help of course even one thing to do is better than just multi for instance swimming is a pleasant change a lot of fun and a chance to build yourself up physically and what about reading there is a leisure time activities that will help you learn things you would like to know about many subjects and this hobby could have a long range goal perhaps a job in the air give can a change can be learned while doing it and perhaps preparing themselves for better living well you have a long range goal to give him satisfaction and what might be some uses for your leisure time would you let the time slip away from you or will you use it well
