Show notes
When we aim to have fun, we want as much fun as possible from the activity. That’s obvious!But when I heard that scheduling your free time can take away some of that fun, I thought “Uh-oh…How do I deal with that?”Since I go on so much about making sure you plan your time well–including your free time–I was worried that the sensible advice may be inadvertently spoiling your enjoyment.Luckily, the study by Selin Malkoc and Gabriela Tonietto also suggests how to have the best of both worlds. That’s what I talk about in Episode 028 of TUB-Thump.Even better, the study seems to confirm what I recently talked about too. You can combine routines and spontaneity in student life.In fact, that combo could be the answer to ALL THE THINGS. (Okay, okay. Some of the things.)Now you’ve got no excuse for not scheduling!And I’ve got no excuse for double negatives…https://universityblog.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/tub-thump-028.mp3Here are the show notes for the 5-min episode:01:10 – Scheduling specific leisure activities can result in having less fun.Here’s a video with the authors of the paper explaining what they found:Music for TUB-Thump is Life, by Tobu, which is released under a Creative Commons license.
