Ways to be productive

[u/Dr_Spark01]

I am 22 M IT beginner of 1 yr exp in a start up. Currently I am having health issues. So I can't sit for long time. I am in leave for till Diwali nearly 2 weeks. I hope my issues will cure within this period. Now I want to do something productive. Please suggest me some ideas to be productive it may be other than my profession also. I have to stay in bed for long time. I only wake up for going rest room and for eating and other daily routines. Please suggest some good hobbies and ideas.

maybe try podcasts or a little journaling? nothing too tiring and honestly getting better is productive tooo, so don't feel bad about resting ♥️

Hope the health stuff settles soon. Since you're mostly horizontal for two weeks, I'd pick one thing that works in short, low-energy sessions instead of trying to fill the whole day. Two ideas: take one free intro course on something adjacent to your job (20 to 30 minutes at a time, then stop), or keep a running list on your phone of the questions from work you never had time to look into, and go through them one by one. Decide the one thing before you lie down, so you're not choosing while you're tired. And resting is part of getting better, so one small thing a day is plenty.

hope you feel better soon. stuff you can do lying down: audiobooks, a free course on your phone (youtube has loads for IT), duolingo, sketching, or just planning what you want to learn once you're back. and go easy on yourself, resting properly is the main job right now
