After spending time in particular place where you will live for a while, your home life has to be organized to benefit from that organization, as much as possible.  Not only that, you have to consider the time you will spend in there. 
Sometimes you should invest the free time you have got in good way.  Also, starting from a zero point might be difficult because of many factors such as what you do or where your new home is.

However, if you can simplify things, make it easy for yourself and start thinking about your social activities, like meeting new friends or even doing sports, it would help you to draw strength from your free time.  For me, I always find a way to relate my free time to doing sports in some way.  Nowadays, I am a member in one of the fitness clubs in Dublin. Very often I go there to do swimming or relax in the steam room.  It allows me to relax and focus on my purpose for being here.
 

All in all, once you take the first step, you will look forward to taking the second one and that is what I am trying to do.
