Welcome to my webspace. This site will be all about things you can do to keep yourself busy at home. This will not be limited to things that waste time or cost money, it may be simple things like chors or more advance things like D.I.Y. projects.
The main idea is to create a space where I can share my experience and projects while @ Home.
For my whole 12 years at school I was living in a small town with basically nothing to do outside your home. I learned to keep myself busy with projects and lots of interests. When I finished school, I moved to the city to study for my degree in IT. Since completing my degree I have been living in the city.
I have noticed after mixing with a lot of friends that grew up in the city that they don't know how to keep themselves busy without speinding money! They have no intrests in anything, and add no value to everything. If it is broken we buy a new one, if I don't know what to do, I go to the shops.
How do you know if you are city of a small town type of person? The simple way to do this is ask yourselve: "Can you stay at home for 7 days?" The most people tend to go to the "shop around the corner" every day! They never buy enough food for more than a week, and when they want to prepare food they just drive to the shop and buy what they need. I'm used to buying in bulk at the end of the month, enough to keep me for the next month. This forces me to not be picky on what I want each day. I so to say, have a set menu.
The best thing about a small town is that you get to save almost all your money! You don't have the option to quickly buy something. So you tend to rethink the idea so many times, that by the end of the month, when you go to the city, you have either forgotten about the thing you wanted to buy, or realised you don't really need it.
Another thing that is apparent. If you are used to city living you tend to throw away a lot more. You don't even consider repairing what is broken. You don't reuse anything, containers, paper and other material is thrown away instantly. In the small town you normally stash those things somewhere, and in a lot of cases you find a use for it, even just to recycle, you may use a container you customise rather than buying a new one that was created for the purpose you need to fill.
So this is my quick round-up of the city life, and I want to start something that can help those who have lost their appitite for home to get it back, and enjoy the holidays, staing at home.
