Weekend Ideas

Weekend Ideas



Weekends are the hard-earned days after five grueling days of work, For some, Sunday is the day to relax after six hard working days. Most of us look optimistically towards the coming weekend all through the week and plan how we are going to relax and enjoy the day. It is the time to recharge our batteries, spend some quality time with the family and figure out what we need to do during the weekend. But we need to plan it during the course of the week so that we don’t end up straining ourselves over multiple tasks and ever-increasing to-do lists. There needs to be a regularity on weekends too similarly to our weekdays, as a working individual we need not and shouldn’t disturb our rhythm as it can affect our productivity and can seep in needless frustration in our mindset. So let’s try out to figure out and churn out a weekend planner for a smooth weekend or holidays.

1.      Get outdoors

Start your weekend by refreshing your mind and body by going for an early morning walk, touching the early morning mist on flower petals amidst the chirping of birds. Involve the whole family to see the wonderful mysteries of nature. This can be the day to see the rising sun and the golden orange rays of the Sun falling all over the surroundings. You can also jog or swim or do any outdoor activity to give a refreshing start to your weekend.

2.       Analyze the past week

The weekend is the best time to reflect on the past week gone by. You can reflect on what went great and not so great for you. What went wrong, why it went wrong and if you could have prevented it from going wrong. These reflections clear the doubts if you have any, about the past week’s decisions. We can plan accordingly if we want to capitalize on the good decision or think to rectify it if we have done blunders. For all these thought processes to churn, time is required and what is better than a weekend?                                                                             

3.   Plan the coming week

To be more productive you need to go through your schedule in a planned way so that you are able to concentrate on every aspect of your professional as well as personal life. Whether you are a student, working professional or homemaker, try to plan your next week’s schedule during the weekend, believe me, it will not take much time but you will certainly sort out your tasks, appointments, meetings, targets, academics, learning time table, etc. accordingly. You will never feel short of time to do the work you cherish.

4.       Disconnect from devices

Digital devices are addictive and time-consuming and it is better to stay away from them to enjoy your weekend with family and friends. Playing video or mobile games on Saturdays and Sundays will put all your planning on the back burner and you will not even realize where your hard-earned days have gone.  Better to plan for a digital detox on weekend for the whole family and stay away from your devices. Staying away from devices and keeping your loved ones engaged should be your weekend mantra.

5.    Don’t sleep too much on weekends

Many people, whether they are working professionals, school kids, the elderly or persons connected to their routine face the situation of sleep deficit. That means getting less sleep than their normal requirement. This sleep deficit makes most of us wait for the weekend eagerly, and we try to correct our sleep deficit during it. But if you are not facing such kind of issues, don’t sleep too much as it can disturb your circadian rhythm, the natural cycle of physical, mental and behavioral changes of humans, plants and animals that follows the 24-hour cycle. If we sleep too much on Saturdays and Sundays, we are going to feel tired and sleepy on weekdays. Too much sleep is going to do us more harm than good, so plan your off days judiciously, taking care of your sleep as well as other important tasks that you have kept for the weekend.

6.       Have time for fun 

Lastly, as the weekend is not going to last forever enjoy yourself by going out with your friends and family and having a great time chatting over a meal or by watching a movie or going to a waterpark to soak yourself with thrill and excitement. Talk to your kids and other family members about what they want to do during the weekend and plan accordingly. Keep your head calm, enjoy yourself and get ready for a great week ahead.

It is a cycle of work-relaxation-work that our mind and body follow and we should definitely make efforts to plan for work as well as rest. Have a great weekend!!!

Avoiding Added Sugar Added sugar is sugars and syrups added to foods and beverages at any point during the preparation or processing to enhance flavour and texture or prolong shelf life. It is a major issue of the day due to its increased association with various health issues.
