How can I improve myself in 7 weeks?

So this summer, I have 7 weeks off. Shared custody of my child so he’ll be with his dad a lot. My partner is away working over summer.

So what can I do with my time, that is both enjoyable, productive and involves self growth? It’s an opportunity I’ll never have again so I don’t want to waste it!

Do you have any projects that you just never seem to get round to?

Start an online yoga or other fitness class.

Redecorate your room (or just declutter and deep clean it and buy some new bedsheets)

I think i’ll read a lot. I love to read but don’t often get time. So I’ll make a list of books I fancy.
I’ve got a paint by numbers I started in lockdown and never got into.
I do need to do some decorating downstairs but I’ve recently had a big declutter.
I’ve always fancied doing a triathlon so maybe I’ll book into one for September!
Id live to say if get the body I’d always wanted, but that will never happen! 😂😂

I like the idea of yoga though! Be interested to see how far I could get in 7 weeks

Couch to 5k?

Duolingo! I've been learning German for the last 106 days! Just do the free version, it's actually more enjoyable as you feel the need to 'earn' points to unlock new stuff. Obviously it doesn't have to be German, there are heaps of languages.

This is a definite yes! Thank you
