out.But as the days passed，I started to relax.I only had one choice to consider for Saturday night-to stay home-and this limitation left me more satisfied with my decision.I felt more content working，reading or watching TV.

　　While I found more time to work，I also noticed a change in my overall health.I found myself cooking more at home，doing daily exercise，getting to bed earlier each night，reading，and enjoying moments of rest and boredom throughout the day.

　　Having no social life left me more free time than I'd imagined.Such free moments are vital for creativity，and mind wandering has been linked to creative problem solving.During the experiment I found myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects.

　　Of course socializing is an important way to build work contacts.While one month of no social life did not impact my relationship with existing clients，if I had continued，it may harm my ability to build new ones.
