Free Time vs. Fun Time

Whether you think you have too much free time or maybe too little, or if you’re not sure of the difference between free time and fun time, today’s episode is for you. Noting that many realtors value this concept of free time, Matt and Garrett are here to challenge them to rethink their approach, as together they explore the subtle distinctions between merely having time off and actively curating experiences that ignite joy and satisfaction. Along the way, they highlight that, by reframing mindsets from free time to fun time, individuals can infuse their leisure hours with purpose and enthusiasm, unlocking a wealth of possibilities for personal growth and fulfillment. Drawing from such personal anecdotes as Garrett's spontaneous birthday experience, our hosts illustrate the transformative power of intentional planning and the importance of having default plans for unexpected free time which can be as simple as diving into a good book, pursuing a hobby, or just basking by the pool. Through their trademark engaging discussions, Matt and Garrett clarify how language shapes our perception of leisure, and underscore the significance of using empowering language to frame our experiences. Do yourself a favor here today - take some free time and transform it by learning how to embrace this concept of fun time and activities that bring joy as you embark on a journey toward a more enriching and satisfying life.
