To the singles 30+: What do you do all day?

So, apart from working, sleeping, toddling children and doing household chores, how do you get around "idle times"? I would have B. Don't feel like killing the whole day with Netflix / cell phone / PC. I could imagine going for a walk / hiking, but that would depend on the weather. I could only read when I was calm. Meeting friends is also very good, of course, but some of them are just that scared.

I'm really curious, imagine this to be difficult anyway, but how is it now in Corona times?

Indeed, a lot has been lost due to Corona.

My English course and yoga course, for example… I also liked going to a party for the right occasion, or just having a nice meal or going to a concert. I like to travel for my life.

During Corona I focus more on other hobbies. I really enjoy reading and writing myself. Watch series and films.

I hope that the outdoor pools will open again in summer and that I will be able to swim.

Why should singles not have a job or just chill like everyone else?

I indulge my hobby and take care of my parents' dog. I listen to music, read the newspaper, watch the news, series, films, documentaries, etc. And plan new projects.

Wa

Well, I would rather look for ideas that go beyond news, series, films, documentaries (= because telly, see my question).
The dog is of course fine. And may I ask about your hobby? Is this something you do alone or in a group / with a friend?

Wa

Nevertheless, I thought about whether singles can survive without a TV / PC / mobile phone:-)

Surely there must be more job opportunities than that. I probably didn't phras my question well: - /

Can couples or families survive without a TV / PC / mobile phone?

My hobby is garden design. You can do that alone. I used to dance too, that is, in pairs, but that's not possible.

I work 12 hours a day. Free time is "rare" anyway. After work, I prepare everything for the next day and then go to bed.

Wa

I think so, at least if the kids haven't reached their teens yet. Do you play together, play tennis (or bowling, or football), swim, do puzzles together, plan vacations or something?

Wa

That does not sound good. Where are you staying

re

I painted eggs with my friends or like going to the fitness course in the park, doing nonsense in the forest or hanging out somewhere, having a ditsch tournament at the lake, first looking for perfect stones and then jumping, board games or rummy cups, so now because of Corona little but so far we haven't been bored.

As a single, household will probably take a little more time because you can't share the work. Otherwise I would first ask what your interests are.

I like to read a book by the fireplace and a glass of wine, which is fun in bad weather.

Otherwise you can cook something new or just let your mind wander.

Tip from me. Alone in the forest when the weather is nice, close your eyes and just enjoy nature. You forget how life can already be and in the few minutes I'm completely relaxed and can think in peace or switch off.

Gi

I stay or my private life falls by the wayside.

And where is the difference to the single?

Because swimming, bowling, tennis or even football are currently not really allowed. Especially not vacation.
