What makes some people more successful than others is what they do with their time, and not just office time, but the time for leisure and relaxation as well.
Here are the Top 10 things done by successful people on weekends that makes them who they are and takes them where they are, at the helm of success.
1. Prioritize
All of us are busy and have tons of things to do, deadlines to finish and tasks to attend to. We often get into the confusion deciding what is most important, what is urgent and what can be done later. It is important to prioritize and make a list of what needs to be done and in what order.
2. Family Time is Important
While work is worship, family time is equally important. At the end of the day, it is for your family and friends and a comfort of living that you toil for each day.
3. Go Volunteer
While you work for money the entire week, weekend is give back time. Do some volunteer work over the weekend and give back to society. Make your weekend count by spending the time you have with family, friends and people, giving back to society for people who need.
4. Exercise
If you are really busy on all your weekdays, it becomes essential and important that you make time for some sort of physical activity or exercise during the weekend. Make sure that you exercise at the start of the day, rather than keeping it for evening as you will usually end up spending time with family or friends or get engrossed in other activities.
5. Be Yourself and Go Free
Don’t try to plan or structure your weekend like a day at work. Be more spontaneous and willing to go with the flow. You don’t need to control every day of your life.
6. Enjoy Simple Things
If your kids want you to come to park with them, go ahead, spend time with your wife on the swing with a cup of tea or just call your parents or visit them. Don’t plan the whole day like any other day, take things and ideas as they come and enjoy the simple things.
7. Plan Ahead
While you are enjoying the weekend, make sure you plan your days for the week ahead as well. It is important to understand that a good look into the coming week will help you be more organized, planned and ready.
8. Be on Your Own
Internet and technology has invaded our privacy, time and space like never before. For the weekend, limit your internet timings and let your mind rest. The world is not going to come to end as you relax. Take some own time. For a change, write a letter or go to a library.
9. Get to Know People, Socializing is Important
While you have a busy week, it is important to know the people around you, be it your neighbors or parents of the kids at the park. Get to know people you and your family would see each day and learn more about them. You would have someone to talk to beyond your daily work routine.
10. Reflect and Relax
Look back at the week gone by and see what you could have done better and how. Reflecting on one’s own actions and activities, gives a clearer insight into improving over time.
These are some of the best practices by successful people during weekends. Remember, opting for healthy ways to unwind makes you more efficient with your work!
