Watch sports

Organize your photos and videos
If you’re like most people, your smartphone gallery is probably almost filled to breaking point with different photos and videos. But rather than leaving them in a mess, you should pass the time by organizing them into different folders. For example, you can have a folder for all your selfies and another folder for pictures of your loved ones – you get the idea. Depending on your storage levels, it might take a while, but once your gallery is clean and tidy, you’ll feel a giant relief.

Listen to music
Are you a music fan? If so, you should use your smartphone to stream music.

Create a weekly schedule
