How to spend a relaxing weekend

Do you think that your weekends end too quickly? Then try to follow the advice by The Huffington Post and you will find yourself having a fulfilled, relaxed weekend. 


Forget work and rest
Try to switch from “work mode” to “weekend mode” on Friday evening. Try to forget work and get yourself ready for the weekend. 


Don’t oversleep
Weekends are the perfect time to oversleep, but that means that you would have less weekend time. It would also likely “interfere with your weekly sleep schedule,” which will make you more tired on the weekdays. 


Don’t postpone your work for the weekend
If you postpone all your work for the weekend, there will be no time to relax. Try to “knock off” some work during the weekdays for a more relaxed weekend.


No electronic devices
Try to stay away from smartphones and social media. They will take away your energy instead of recharging you.


Plan, but be flexible
It’s a good idea to plan your weekend, but don’t plan too tight. This will just stress you out. Plan, but be flexible.


Do nothing for some hours
It might occur to you that doing nothing for a few hours can be boring, but in fact it’s not. It’s different to do nothing while there is no work pressure. It’s totally fine to be selfish and to do nothing for a few hours on the weekend. 


Try something new
Weekends might get boring if you always do the same routine. Try something new or pretend to be a tourist in your own city and go sightseeing. This will be much more fun. 


Don’t be afraid of Monday
Don’t get stressed out that it’s Monday tomorrow. If you are worried all day long, it’ll ruin your Sunday. Be sure that you can make most of your weekend.
