Simply relaxing and appreciating the scenery are great ways to enjoy your daily walk. But if you’d like variety or are pinched for time, you can get something done while pounding the pavement.

• Learn. Whether you’re studying, learning a foreign language, or wanting to trade stocks, walking is the perfect time to pop in some ear buds. Never finished that classic in high school? Here’s your chance.

• Brainstorm. Solve a problem… invent something… fine-tune your project approach. Whatever is percolating in your brain, woolgathering while walking can be the opportune time to sift through your thoughts.

• Do household tasks. It may sound strange, but while out on a walk you can create a grocery list, decide what to buy someone for a special occasion, or make calls.
