- Visit someplace or watch something. This could be going to a farm, museum, or job shadowing. It also can include reading or even watching a television program.
- Learn a new skill. This takes eight hours or less to learn the basics. For example: go out and learn how to fly fish.
- Make something better. Plant a garden, clean out a shed, paint a tractor. Sky is the limit.
