How to use "Impromptu" in context?
When done spontaneously, activities can be more enjoyable and lead to new and unexpected discoveries. Sometimes it is impossible to plan a spontaneous activity, and this can add excitement and unpredictability. For example, taking a walk around the neighborhood instead of visiting a tourist spot. Other times, spontaneity can be decided through contingency-making sure to have materials and/or backup plans in case things don't work out as planned.
The unpredictability and surprise benefits of impromptu activities can also be achieved through careful planning. For example, planning a picnic in a park that is always crowded.
