You’ll actually be more productive if you unplug. But that’s easier said than done for some of us.
To win at work and succeed at life, you must intentionally set aside time for rejuvenation. The most common way? Optimize your weekend.
Fully committing to a couple days of rest—completely free from work—will restore your energy. It’s the only way to ensure that you have something to offer when Monday rolls around.
Ask yourself:
• How do I want to feel after this weekend?
• What do I want to remember about this weekend?
• What activities will make me feel like I used my time well?
Answer the questions below to get clear on how to successfully commit time and plan activities around the five main ingredients for total rejuvenation.
1. Rest.
Go ahead, give yourself permission to sleep in or take a nap. Put this on your to-do list if you must. Then you can check it off when you achieve your goal!
How much sleep do you want to get each night? __________ hours
How much do you actually get? __________ hours
How will you set yourself up for better sleep, in terms of quality and quantity?
2. Refreshment.
Go to a new restaurant. Cook a special meal. Eat at a leisurely pace. Stay at a special resort. “If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world,” J.R.R. Tolkien said.
How do you want to spend your meal times?
What do you want to eat?
Where do you want to eat?
With whom do you want to eat?
3. Recreation.
Play helps us de-stress and stimulates our creativity. So play frisbee golf, throw a ball, or go hiking. You could also take a class related to a hobby that you would like to learn; spend time in a novel, a memoir, or a history book; or watch a new movie or television series.
How do you want to play on the weekends?
What hobbies or sports do you like to engage in?
What is a book you’d want to read, or a movie or TV show you’d want to watch?
What “fun” activities or skills would you like to develop?
4. Relationships.
Weekends are perfect for investing in relationships. Take your spouse or significant other on a date. Attend a marriage seminar. Start a book club with friends. Call family members. Go to dinner with friends or have them over to play cards.
With whom do you want to spend time this weekend?
What are some activities you’d want to do together?
Who are your 5-6 most important relationships, and what does quality time with them look like?
5. Reflection.
“Reflection and prayer are man’s internal GPS system,” says William J. Bennett. “It is how a man evaluates and determines his fortune and his future.” So take time to meditate, journal, attend church, write a life plan, or find a beautiful setting and just sit and think.
How do you want to spend time this weekend reflecting on those things that matter most?
How much time would you like to spend each day in reflection?
Through what activities and practices do you best reflect?
List three key changes you will incorporate into your weekend norm in order to ensure deeper rejuvenation.
