This is so interesting to watch seventy years later. The middle class still enjoys 40 hour work weeks and the automation of household items like washing machines, but now people are feeling pressure to work side hustles or second jobs, couples are both having to work and find time for washing, cooking etc on top of that, we are spending longer commuting further distances to work, and home ownership is increasingly difficult and almost impossible on a single wage for many, let alone while raising kids. Not to mention sedentary jobs meaning we have to find find to exercise too. It's feeling like 'leisure time' isnt quite what it use to be, but I'm not sure how realistic this video was to reflect everyone's circumstances back then.

For once, one of these old films actually makes a lot of sense. There's one thing i have to comment on: never feel pressured to make a business out of your hobby. I do photography too, and people sometimes ask for a print (an actual boomer style darkroom print!) of a picture i took. I reckon i could make a couple bucks off of it if i wanted to. But it's absolutely fine to have a hobby just for the fun of it. Monetizing it can rapidly turn a hobby into a chore. Also, doing nothing can be a goal in itself. If i plan too many activities - even fun ones - on a weekend, i just feel like i direly need a weekend after a weekend on monday.

"Never feel pressured to make a business out of a hobby" Your comment really resonates a lot with me.

I did learn a lot from the experience all things considered.

Good instructional film! Leisure time should be used creatively and constructively. Skills acquired from hobbies as a young person can prepare one for a career. Some people may laugh at this and similar films believing they are condescending but not everyone is fortunate enough to have parents that provide such guidance. Films such as this provided outstanding guidance for young people that could not acquire it any other way. Really an excellent film for young people even today.

Hobbies and doing things just because you enjoy it are great. Shunning having down time, bragging about working over 70 hours a week, and using that as excuse to demean a young man for relaxing and enjoying those years before he becomes a workaholic, ISN’T. This uses something that can be healthy and twist into a SLAVE every minute should be filled mentality. The best thing about having actual down time where I’m not being a busy bee is, having time to actual think about what I want to discern if what I’m being exposed to will help me get more of that. This does but only because it helps me see why my hobbies have become stressful at times and how I got the idea that I should only feel good if I’m trying to do too much. And feel guilty just relaxing in the moment. Plus this makes me feel like their are RULES for what I should do with my off time. I can make my own decisions thank you. The videos that show how other people spend their off times, the progress they are making with their goals like having time for the things they love most and balancing that with time for themselves, family and friends; are better inspiration and more pragmatic approach to adding joy in our lives. I thought this video would be along those lines. It never occurred to me that hobbies could rules designed to make you feel bad about relaxing in whatever way you choose during your LEISURE TIME. Now that I do though, I can see not only is this the same mentality that created slaves and worked them to death, it’s the same mentality we have now. Except most are working 2 or 3 jobs to reach those 70 hour workweeks, but still can’t afford to live from one paycheck to the next. God forbid they get pleasure from relaxing and doing nothing because they are too tired to bird watch.
@goodfriendacres56334 ай бұрын
There's a definite difference between relaxing and "moping." I don't think anyone in the 50s would disagree that relaxing and reflecting is a healthy use of leisure time. However, moping and inwardly lamenting that your time is useless because you have no one to spend it with and nothing to do is not healthy. And young people with plenty of energy and nothing constructive to do often start playing pranks and getting into trouble for the fun of it because they have not learned a hobby or been allowed a small age appropriate job to earn some spending money. There's nothing wrong with relaxing and reflecting on life. I think it's a skill like many others...learning to be still and peaceful and content with the stillness. But many extroverts can't tolerate it for very long.

Found this from a cs188 YTP. And honestly, even though it's literally from 70 years ago, I feel like this still holds up today. Finding good use of downtime can be pretty hard for many, myself included. And it seems to come from not knowing what to do or why to do it. And it could be harder if you have too much free time, whether you're out of school, work, or both. I find that by having less leisure time, I get more of an incentive to actually use it, rather than be like "oh I have the whole day left, I'll do it later". It's always good to start small in what to do with your leisure time. Like mentioned in the video, golf, swimming, reading a book, or helping your parents with a task. And nowadays with the internet, you got access to literally billions of resources right at your fingertits! Maybe reading some articles about where bananas come from, watching old videos about how to use leisure time, or watching how to turn a sphere inside out. Or even stuff like learning a language, learning how to sew, or learning a free video software to make your own KZbin poops. With all of this available, I can't find a good excuse to be bored nowadays. In all, its not just about knowing what to do, it's also about knowing why to do it as well as what to get out of it. You may not know if you like it until you try it yourself.
