You’re certainly not alone in thinking that the weekend often just couldn’t come around soon enough, and you’ll likely start thinking about the weekend as soon as Monday rolls around. The weekend allows you to claw back some time to yourself and enjoy your few days off from work. The weekend can feel like it flies past, so make sure you’re making the most of your time off and engaging in the activities you want. If you’ve worked tirelessly through the week, you’ll probably want to recharge your batteries and have fun keeping busy with friends and family.
Entertainment
Surprisingly, you can feel refreshed after a busy weekend filled with fun activities and socializing. Keeping active and enjoying yourself makes you feel positive despite having to return to work on Monday. This feeling comes about when you’ve fulfilled everything you’d been dreaming about doing during the week but couldn’t because of work engagements. With this in mind, plan a weekend of entertainment and begin to see how it feels not to resent your job. Entertain yourself by booking tickets to a theater show or a sports game through Ticket sales, for example. Try and book early to maximize your chances of getting a small crowd of friends to attend with you before their diaries fill up over the coming weeks.
Make A To-Do List
Making and planning a to-list will help you manage your time and be more productive. You can create your list early in the week as an incentive to push through tasks and clear up your weekend time. Make a list and color code what you wish to do, the activities you’d like to do, and those listed as relatively non-urgent. It would help if you tried not to overcomplicate your list and keep it as short as possible. If you have a long list, make a weekday list and then solely for the weekend. Your weekend list should be free from tasks like cleaning and shopping, as these can be performed before the weekend begins.
Do Chores During The Week
Do your chores and housework during the week instead of the weekend. Tell yourself that you’ll complete one-fifth of the housework each night of the week. This way, you’ll meet all your chores on Friday night. If you know you’ll be too busy to complete these tasks after work, set some time in the morning to do them. You’ll have the entire weekend to enjoy by splitting your chores into parts, and you can tell yourself. If implementing this routine is out of the question, then get the most time-consuming tasks out of the way before Saturday morning. Complete your weekly chores; the weekend will be yours with any luck.
