Once you have an NDIS expert on your side, here are five worthwhile options to consider when it comes to spending all your newfound free time:

1. Learn and try new things.

Always wanted to try playing the piano, learn how to play chess, or master the basics of photography? Having a trusted NDIS team in your corner means you have more time to take up new hobbies or dive into your interests.

With the recent COVID outbreak, learning may have to take place in the safety of home for the meantime. Good thing there are countless ways to enrich your mind and strengthen your skillset online. Click here for ways to keep learning online during the pandemic.

2. Explore the world around you and beyond.

Wouldn’t you rather spend your time navigating the world outside than navigating NDIS red tape? With a plan manager stepping in to streamline the financial tasks of your NDIS plan, you are in a better position to go out, explore, and enjoy amazing experiences.

Whilst the current COVID situation may require foregoing trips or holidays for the time being, exploration and enjoyment can still take place online. Click here for ideas on how to have fun at home during the pandemic.

3. Focus on your health and wellbeing.

For many NDIS participants, improved health and wellbeing are of paramount importance because they set one up for a fuller life physically, mentally and emotionally. With a plan manager like Blitzit taking care of key NDIS administration tasks for you, you get to zero in on your commitment to getting adequate nutrition, exercise and rest.

4. Make connections.

When you’re not agonising over managing your NDIS plan, you’re free to kick back and link up. With social and community participation being a goal for many NDIS participants, more free time means more opportunities to socialise — whether through programs organised by support providers or events put together by your own social groups.

5. Enjoy quality time with your loved ones.

Let’s face it — navigating the NDIS can take up a huge amount of your mental and emotional bandwidth. When you leave the financial management tasks in the hands of a professional, you make more space in your life to spend time with and appreciate the people around you who make it worth living.
