Quite often we have so much of free time and have nothing to do. Using the Internet also seems a boring activity as we don’t have anything productive in mind. We know social media is engrossing, but it isn’t productive. So, what do we do? Let’s look at activities which can help you be productive online.

Stay Updated

The foremost thing is to stay updated. Yes! Surf the Internet and browse news websites and stay updated on what’s happening around the world.

Read Books

If reading interests you, then you have plenty of options online. Websites such as Project Gutenberg, Planet eBook and E-Books Directory allow you to read books for free.

Learn a New Language

Who said you can learn a language only in the classroom? There are many choices available online which can help you master a new language. So, use your time and become an expert in an exotic language. Sounds interesting?

DIY

Do-it-Yourself or DIY activities are a rage these days. But the first DIY activity is to search a bit on the net. Although you can try plenty of such DIY activities, find a DIY project to impress and entertain your friends, teachers and parents.

Blog

Blogging is popular among people who love expressing their thoughts. Unleash the hidden writer in you and express your thoughts through a well-written post on a free blogging site like Blogger (Blogspot) or WordPress. However, such a blog would need to be updated regularly. You could even send your write-up to TopperLearning.com and be featured right here for other students to read your post!

The fact that you’re reading this article shows that you’re already utilising your free time and the Internet for good things!
