Which activities make you lose track of time?

Staycation activities

A staycation is a portmanteau of the words “stay” and “vacation”. It means staying in or hanging out in one’s local area instead of traveling domestically or internationally. The idea is for a person to stay at home OR does leisure activities within driving distance – like sleeping, cooking, reading and doing other stuff inside a homey place. To a certain extent, staycation could also mean taking a day trip to local tourist sites, swimming at a backyard pool or to nearby resorts, or visiting museums.

So what benefits can one derive from staycations? Well for one, staycations are less costly than a vacation involving traveling. Lesser lodging costs and obviously, the travel expenses are minimal especially when one opts to spend a vacation at home watching movies and series or catching up with reading your favorite book.  Furthermore, staycations do not bring about stress associated with travel, such as packing, long drives/travel time, waiting hours at the airport and the thought of delayed flights. The most one has to worry about is how to keep one’s self-entertained. A staycation is also easier to plan.

And the best part of a staycation that will make one lose track of time? Utmost relaxation! When you are just lazing around doing nothing, or just staring at tge ceiling making friends with shadows on the wall — total bliss. The next thing you’ll know, your staycation time is over.

So if you’re constantly stressed out by work, family obligation and or other issues, then a staycation is exactly what one needs to relax and one gets to set his or her own pace where strict schedules are not implemented. True enough, staycations are a great way to unwind.
