Things to to during the collapse for fun and relaxation

Look, you can't spend all your time fighting off the hordes, growing food, and keeping your house in order when the collapse comes.  You need some mental stimulus and play to round out your day so here is a list of things you might want to plan to do when there is no reason to go to work and you have long days of nothing to do.

Self Education in the Classical Style
If you couldn't afford to get a classical education then join the rest of us that had to look for something that actually guaranteed a paycheck like accounting, business, or a trade.  This can be a long term project you can stop and start anytime.  If you started now and the collapse comes along you could finish out your education while others spend their time gnashing their teeth.

More Great Books to Read
I haven't read all of them, but most, and they do fit the bill for changing your perspective and understanding of some of the elemental concepts of life and the human condition.

Practice Open Hand Self Defense
Why break your fingers when you can learn to fight with an open hand.  The other benefit of this is that you always appear less threatening with open hands than closed fists.  It is an art form and can be used for exercise.

Collect Old Commodes
Imagine if you have a thing for old commodes.  This is a must have and it would look so good among your survival collection as well.   Olive drab commode for a tactical look.

Set up a backyard badminton court 
You can also use it for croquet, calisthenics,  martial arts, and even a rough putting green.  Sports are a great way to relieve stress and also help cure boredom.  This is one of the cheapest sports you can get into.  You can find a set at the flea market for $5 or pay $25 for a new one.

Set up an indoor mini range for BB and Pellet Guns
If you have no neighbors and lots of land some just hang some old frying pans off tree branches and enjoy the noise.  Whatever you do, don't use this approach with live ammo.  Archery is fun too if you have the proper backstop.  Absent lots of safe area behind your range, I'd set one up in the basement with the proper backstops. (warning to fools, never do this with live ammo and always wear eye protection.

Take Naps
Improvement of your health ranks high in survival and what better way than to get some extra sleep during the day.  I do this myself whenever I have the time.
