70+ Things To Do On Your Day Off

It’s so crazy that people want to retire by the age of 30 but then when you ask them what they plan to do with their time they don’t know. So I created this list of 70 things to do on your day off to just help you start brainstorming and create an amazing day. The purpose of the activity you choose is important—one activity may mean two different things to two different people.  For example, one person may do a day of photography to tap into their creative spirit while another person may do it sharpen their photography skills.  It’s up to you.

If you have more ideas that you think we should add to the list, use the comments box above or below.  We’ll be sure to give you credit.  We hope it helps.
