We can’t deny it. Weekdays are so exhausting. Working five days straight with full of stress? It is so tiring! Our only way out to have some time to breathe is the weekend. But weekends are so short and seem so quick. That’s why it is important to spend our weekends in the most precious way. Having a great weekend will surely make us ready for another Monday.

Here are five ways to spend our weekend fruitfully.

1. Pursuing a Passion

We are not a robot. We are still human who has hobbies and passion. Some of us are an aspiring painter, artist, or chef. Some are sports enthusiasts. However, because we always spend our time for work, we can’t pursue our passion. But, we still have a chance of spending our weekends on the things that we love.

2. Unplug

Let yourself feel free by unplugging from gadgets. Mondays to Fridays, we are always in front of our computers and mobile phones, checking emails and other work-related things. This can lead to burnout. Weekends are the best time for us to feel free and unplug from gadgets.

3. Bond with your Family and Friends

The weekend is the perfect opportunity to meet friends and family. Take some time for a meal or a walk. Let yourself have a quality time to speak with your friends and family. This will help you to be more active as Monday comes.

4. Take a Nap

“Power nap” or napping at work is actually good for our productivity. However, strict bosses don’t like it. That’s why you can’t take a nap from Monday to Friday. Take some time to nap during weekends. But, don’t spend your whole time in bed. Naps that are no longer than 20 minutes will make you feel more refreshed and energized.

5. Volunteer

The best thing to make your weekends fruitful is to help somebody. Because the weekend is your only free time, spend it by helping. Volunteering in some charity works will make you feel fulfilled. This will help you to grow and have personal well-being.

Spending your weekends in a fun and useful way will result in many positive things for you. This will help you become more ready to face another week of work. So, maximize your time and spend your weekend fruitfully!

Good morning Tamra. Being in real estate, weekends were seldom mine, so "unplug time" sometime during the week was necessary. In the early days it was easy but became more difficult with technology. Enjoy your day!

Weekends are completely different for Self Employed people(1099ers) than W-2 folks. Time Blocking and a “ Things to Do “ List are key
