We all define "success" differently, but most 20-somethings probably associate it with happiness, good health, a strong social network, and a well-balanced life.
According to experts, how you spend your downtime plays a huge part in your ability to achieve these things.
"If you take time to recharge and pay attention to fitness and your diet, for example, after work or on weekends, you'll set the stage for great life habits that put you at the top of your game at the office," says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job."
She continued:
"It's self-perpetuating. A healthy mind and body help you do your best work. Knowing that you are achieving great results at the office further encourages you to relax and follow your passions during your leisure time — which creates a work-life balance and positive outlook in all your endeavors."

They spend time with family and friends
When they're working or going to school, it's hard for people to give focused attention to those they care about, Taylor says. That's why they make an effort to check in with friends and family during their downtime.
They exercise
Many successful people thrive on good health and seek a natural adrenaline rush, such as a regular fitness program or even extreme sports.
"You can go cycling, hiking, kayaking, snow boarding, surfing, scuba diving, and, for the extreme sports lovers, there's bungee jumping and a host of other options," Taylor says.
They learn something new
Successful 20-somethings are typically intellectually curious, seek to remain well-read, and surf the internet constantly for the truth, Taylor says.
"They don't take much at face value, as the last 10 to 15 years of world events have underscored the need for them to question things that prior generations were more apt to accept," she says.
