My 9 ways to spend time alone

Listen to the rain: whether in the countryside or urban areas, I like to listen to the sound of rain, or thunderstorm, or drizzle, rain gives me a sense of security and joy surrounded, in many cases, especially at night, the kind of listening to the rain almost intoxicated me.

Quiet reading: whether waiting for a passenger, leisure, waiting for a plane, or between office hours, I like to have a book in hand. I like to read alone quietly, and the result of reading makes me more peaceful. In fact, reading the ancient and modern things, the immediate past or things are not so important to dwell on, reading really has a sense of practice.

Single walk: country roads or old town lanes, or sometimes a Food market or old restaurant, I walked alone, walked over, probe, idle questions, unknowingly passed a day, or Cairo or Lijiang, single walk when still free.

Coffee Office: like to work in the cafe, read documents, write reports, send e-mails or meet with customers, in the people coming and going can be very efficient. That is a leisurely pace, but can be very productive work. Now I often work at the Pegasus Chocolate Bar, and I would like to keep it that way in the future.

Stand and speak: I like to stand and speak, although there are many people in front of me, I still feel a sense of being alone, unfolding my body, unfolding my body movements, many times forgetting the original prepared material and content, and entering a state of free play.

Quiet observation: I used to observe the crowds going to and fro at the entrance of Beijing railway station, and I also like to watch pedestrians on the street, customers in the food court, people’s activities in the park, and the interaction between the guests and the audience in other forum occasions. Observation is a very detailed interpretation, and many details that seem meaningless have special value when strung together.

Self-drinking: a plate of food, a pot of wine, a bowl of Soup, drinking and looking around you, listening to their discussions, or reading a novel that is unfolding, or even thinking about a certain topic, improvisation may complete a long-thought article or plan.

Quick writing: Writing alone is very efficient, and many of my blog posts are written quickly when I am alone. Often I put together notes and small strips on topics that come to mind elsewhere, and when I am alone I can quickly finish the article.

Weilian: many things, many people, busy Time can not return their messages in time, so a person when I can fully show my SMS control, WeChat control and microblogging control, for me, this is their own way to establish and maintain contact with many friends.
