Weekends and Weekdays

Some people like to wish "have a good weekend" at the end of the week! How important are these 2 days out of 7 days of the week. Going by the 80/20 rule, are these two days more important and do they give you 80% return?

My feeling is that every moment has its good and bad moments. Separating the weekend from the weekdays doesn't make much sense. I say that every day should be a "Good day!!". I sometimes watch the week WHIZZ past to the end of the week. Sometimes the weekend seems as long as the 5 days !! So time is relative and the more fun you have the faster you eat up time or is it the other way round.

The weekend is like an island that gives you enough breathing space to take on another hard week? Maybe a paradigm change is required. From my life, each day has places where I can recharge instead of waiting till the weekend.

1. 30 minutes right after waking up. Is a good time to get some high energy by contemplating about the day ahead and energising youself. Being around a kid is also great cos they are a great source of positive energy. I end up watching birds with my son or watching the morning sky and spending a few moments of bliss.

2. Right after you get to work. If you get in early there is no one to bother you. You can relax and listen to some music until you clear up any important tasks before you get disturbed by your team mates.

3. Lunch time - is a good way to laugh and have some fun which gives you energy to get through the rest of the day. A few meetings are good to break the monotony.

4. Your trip home. I love this part. I listen to some cool music and by the time I get home I feel energised.

5. A 30 min walk does wonders before you have your dinner. Again this can be with some upbeat music to get your heart pumping.

6. Dinner with family is a good time to get an update of what went on the whole day. Right after dinner its cool to spend some time again with a kid looking at the stars. Make sure you have an early dinner which may not be practical for all the high rollers :-).

7. Listen to a meditation mp3 or some slow music like chillouts, contemporary jazz to get you to sleep.

So like I said, you don't need to look forward to the weekend anymore. Every day has millions of opportunities to relax.

Thats all for now..lol
