Excerpt:

Entertainment: Make plans for free entertainment — something you would not usually do. That could be as simple as reading a book sitting in your bookcase or playing a board game with the family. Or it might involve discovering freebies in the community, such as museums and parks. And don't forget the mecca of free stuff — your public library.
