Summer is about halfway over and it's becoming more and more difficult to be productive. With the small amount of free time left, anyone can accomplish these seemingly unimportant goals. If you're really struggling, ask a friend or family member to join you in a few of these activities. You might make make some friends along the way, or better yet, some money! Here are six goals for the summer that anyone can accomplish.
1. Read a book.
Read during car rides or a lunch break. It's good to take a break from screens! Here's a list of the New York Times's bestsellers if you're looking to stay on trend. If modern literature bores you, here's a list of the most popular books of all time.
2. Clean out your closet.
Donate whatever you don't wear or use to a thrift store and do some shopping while you're there! Thrift stores are a great place to shop if you don't want to spend loads of money on clothes or shoes. You'll have a good conscience and a cool new wardrobe, which is all a person can ask for.
3. Be active.
Thirty minutes of exercise a day makes all the difference. If sports aren't your thing but you like the feeling of being on a team, consider Crossfit or spin classes! Both are very popular nowadays so do a bit of research online to see where and when they are offered in your area.
4. Make friends!
It starts with 'hello' and a smile!
5. Try some new foods.
If you have some money to spend, check out this list of popular restaurants and chains in various cities across the country. Or, if you'd prefer to cook an interesting meal yourself, Pinterest is a great resource for recipes. Try searching for specific ingredients, preferences (vegetarian, vegan, etc.), or price ranges to find something delicious!
6. Relax.
Go to the beach, spa, or simply stay in bed and watch Netflix. Summer is the time to relax, after all. Here's a list of what to watch on Netflix this month, as well as a list of DIY face masks to treat yourself with!
