10 Things To Do When You're Snowed In And Bored!!

1. Update your CV

When you have got some extra time on your hands, it is always a good time to update your CV and make it more current. You never know what it may lead to just now or in the future.

2. Read a Great Book

The famous Jim Rohn talks about increasing your value to the market place, one way to do this is to read a book that will help you learn more about a subject you are interested in or enhance your own personal development.

3. Set Yourself Some Goals

Don’t wait until 1 January 2011 to set yourself some life and career goals, while you have some time on your hands, do it just now. What do you want for yourself for the future, what have you always dreamed of doing or achieving? Write it down now.

4. Phone a Friend

Now is the time to take the perfect opportunity to phone a friend and have a good old natter. One of the best ways to spend your free time.

5. Write Your Christmas Cards

This a great time to get organised and write out all your Christmas cards. Then you can gladly tick this one off your ‘things to do’ list.

6. Watch an Old Movie

When it is cold and wintry outside there is nothing more enjoyable that sitting with a mug of hot chocolate watching an old classic black and white film. I would recommend the feel good film “It’s a Wonderful Life”.

7. Christmas Tree

Now is the time to put up your Christmas Tree, chill out and relax to some Christmas music to get you into the festive spirit.

8. Winter Clean

Use your time wisely to do all those odd jobs around the house that you’ve always been meaning to get to. De-clutter your cupboards and have a good winter clean around the house. Put the Christmas sparkle into your home sweet home.

9. Soak in a Bath

Now you have some extra time on your hands you can, light the candles, pour out a glass of some sparkly stuff and relax in a hot bath filled with your favourite soapy bubbles.

10. Write a Letter

Too often we use the convenience of email and social networks to communicate these days and often the good old snail mail is the most effective. Write a letter to a friend, they will be so amazed and delighted to receive it, you won’t regret the extra time that it took.
