I have been watching a few videos about going on more "side quests" during the day instead of scrolling or doing something else that fries your brain. Side quests I guess can be any little task or mini adventure you decide to do, like in a video game.
I live in the desert in the middle of nowhere, so I usually would just... walk around the desert with my dogs for a bit. But it's getting really hot out already, and I just had to go to the ER for my heart so I have to see a cardiologist and find out what's up before I can be out in extreme temperatures or exercise too hard.
I live rurally, so going anywhere means driving an hour and wasting gas money. Plus, most places where you're going out to do something involve spending money, even just for food while you're there.
So I'm looking for little side quests I can do throughout the day that don't involve spending money or really going anywhere, even outside (though I can go out for a bit around sundown). I do a little bit of fetch when I let the dogs out, and I picked up a book yesterday but I'm looking for more stuff I can do instead of resorting to something brain-numbing, which is usually endless YouTube videos.
What are some little side quests or things you find to do throughout the day that are frugal/free? #finance source
