Some people would say that spending their free time without planning is best way to enjoy spare time. However, in my opinion, people should decide what they will do for free time before the time comes as they can enjoy more their spare time by saving money and reducing stress.
To begin with, people can save more money if they plan in details. Usually, most people's spare time is weekend; and at weekend, everything is expensive than week. Therefore, if people search discount coupons or reserve services for activities, it would help them to spend their hard earned money reasonably. For example, two weeks ago, I watched NANTA, which is my favorite performance. Before went to a theater to enjoy the performance, I reserved the ticket with family because I already knew that ticket is expensive so if I reserve ticket with family, I can be offered family discount. As a result, I received 20% discount and spend great time with family. This shows how important planing ahead for free time is.
On top of that, people can reduce stress more efficiently. People who don't have special plan are likely to waste time by making decisions on the valuable free time. This will ultimately reduce the time to enjoy fun activities. Also, If they decided to go out, they might be frustrated and regret not planning ahead because they don't know the opening hour and close hour of a activity center that they decided to go such as theater or swimming pool. This would add more stress rather than reduce stress. The worst thing is that they should go back to work with unrevealed stress. This will have bad impact on their tasks. There is a research asking workers that did day have a plan for coming holiday. According to the survey, 80% of people who answered that they already planned for holiday, came back work without stress. On the other hand, most of people who answered that they didn't one, came back work with added stress. This shows people who have planned for free time can reduce more stress than people who didn't have one.
To sum up, I strongly believe that planning ahead for free time is far-sight seeing behavior as they can save money and work more productively without stress. There is nothing more important than enjoying life. People earn their money not only to support themselves in financially but also to cost their vacation fee. However, people are likely to screw up their vacation without plan. Therefore, planning for free time is one of the most important thing people should do first.
