According to some researchers, too much free time can be bad for you. I know, I’m not buying it either, but hear me out. They say more than 5 hours of free time is as bad for your well-being as not having enough. If you’re not being productive or feel like you have a purpose, then you’re bored and thus feel sad.

The study used 35,000 people and featured questionnaires with “subjective well-being.” Researchers say that there’s a sweet spot of a moderate amount of free time. Too little makes people feel like they can’t relax or get things done that they want to get done. Too much is associated with lack of purpose. So, overall, make sure you have at least two hours of free time. TWO!!
