- The first step to controlling your weekends is making conscious choices.
- Make sure to unplug completely for at least a few hours.
- Make appointments for yourself, even if it's only to read a book.
- Keep chores, errands, and busy work to a minimum on your days off.
- Planning actually makes weekends happier, and unlocks a key mechanism of joy.
- Plan three to five anchor events each weekend, but don't plan out every hour.
- Make a list of the things you dream about doing, and you'll find the ones you can do every day.
- As you make your plans, don't discount something you haven't done in years.
- Weekend mornings can be the best time to do things for yourself.
- Establish small habits to create new traditions for your family.
- Set aside specific hours for down time, and turn off your phone.
- Be sure to make plans for Sunday night so you don't sit around stressing about your job.
