Wow, it's weekend again, I know a lot of people love this, I don't ,hahaha, who am I kidding.
Weekend is a time for you to relax your brain, detox yourself of stress and paln for the week to come.
No matter how sure the weekend is, just try to enjoy it to the fullest so here are ways to enjoy it
1. Set a specific end time for work.
Workday creep is the killer of all good weekend. If you don't set that time, you will just keep finding things that need to be done and soon, it's Saturday. don't mind if it's late, but that time to guide you on how you schedule the day. Once the time hits, you wrap up as quickly as possible and call it a day.
2. Close out all loose ends.
Anything unfinished in your mind on Friday will likely gnaw at you all through the weekend. You don't have to finish all your work but you do want to address any dangling issues. always make sure you have responded to all incoming emails, even if only to say that you will address it on Monday. always review your schedule and to-do lists for the week to make sure you didn't leave anyone or anything major hanging. This helps you rest with great peace of mind.
3. Start with a great meal.
Food is one of life's most simple and greatest pleasures. The weekend deserves to be ushered in with a tasty meal. It doesn't have to be expensive or fancy, but it needs to put a smile on your face. Whether you get joy from cooking it or having someone else cook it at a restaurant so you can relax and dine, fine. And it's even better if you can share it with friends or family who make you happy.
Without the pressure of work and people, the weekend is a perfect time to focus on you. You can self reflect, meditate, exercise or even learn a language. Do something that helps make you a better person. You want to start Monday feeling that you are stronger and more prepared to deal with the world than ever before.
5. Have some social time.
As human beings, we thrive on social interaction. Alone time is great and necessary, but you also need to have fun with others. It's ok if your home friends are also your work friends. It's still refreshing to spend non-work time socializing and bonding. Even a long talky lunch can help you vent out some excess stress.
6. Spend time prepping for the coming week.
Make sure you have the next week laid out with the to-dos and appointments. It's best to do this on Friday before you leave, but there will be thoughts and ideas that happen over the weekend, so if you take 20 minutes Sunday to add it to everything you feel ready and raring to go when you get to work on Monday.
And that's how you enjoy a great weeken.
