[QUOTE="PMF_II, post: 4770, member: 35"] I'm working full-time in a role that requires a lot of travelling, so I don't have a lot of time for extra-curriculum activities as I did when at university. I totally understand your problem. Here are the activities that I'm doing now. Hopefully they give you some inspirations. :) 1. Learn a new language: I do one hour of self-study every day, but also join a language group. 2. Run long distances: I am training for a half-marathon. This helps me develop discipline and resilience more than anything else, trust me! I also find it easier to write about playing sports with a particular goal rather than saying "I enjoy going to the gym". 3. Volunteer for a monthly festival in my neighbourhood: We only meet once a week so not a huge time commitment. In return, I get to organise initiatives to support local high street shops, which is great fun. 4. Launch a mentoring scheme with an overseas NGO I used to volunteer with: I do this entirely remotely and in my own time. I think if you have a cause that you feel strongly about, creating a small project to tackle it could be very fulfilling and, at the same time, useful for skill development. [/QUOTE]
