How To Make Your Weeks Feel Like The Weekend

The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

It can be easy for your whole week to feel like it is spent trying to get you to the weekend when you work a full-time job, and then – when the weekend gets there – it is “here and gone” so quickly that you feel like it was never there at all, and it is time to return to the week once more! And while it might seem like this is an endless cycle, you should know that there is a way to stop it; if you want to keep your weeks from feeling like they drag on forever (before a weekend that quickly disappears), you need to learn how to make your weeks feel like they are the weekend.

Be aware of your free time: Because you are spending a large portion of your days during the work week actually doing work, it is easy to forget that you still have a little bit of free time; outline for yourself the hours during the day when you usually have this free time, and make yourself aware of how much time this gives you each day.

Make time for what you enjoy: Once you take a moment to seriously examine your free time, it is not unlikely for you to realize that you often use it doing things that have no redemptive value – things such as watching television, or bumbling around on the internet; when you make yourself aware of this lost free time, however, you can decide to use this time for things you truly enjoy.

Look toward that day: A large part of the reason why people fail to truly enjoy the weekdays is because they spend so much time looking toward the weekend; when you replace this mindset with one that decides to “look forward to that day,” however, you will find that your weekdays are a whole lot more enjoyable!

It is actually very easy for you to make your weekdays feel like the weekend; all you have to do is follow these simple steps, and your weekdays will be full of things you enjoy, instead of just being full of “looking toward the weekend!"
