Get Ahead Over The Weekend

Dear Readers,

Weekends are wonderful. They give you a break from work and the cycle that is life.

They also are time where most people take a break from their usual habits and let loose.

And letting loose is great. In fact, it's natural and healthy.

Here's a suggestion: Let loose in a way that SUPPORTS you in your overall goals, and not take you further from them.

For example: If your goal is to lose weight or get a new job... hitting up the park for a hike or volunteering would be in support of those goals.

The weekend starts on Friday and ends Sunday. By my count that is three days out of a total of seven that comprises your week.

Three days therefore consists of 43% of your total time.

If you cheat yourself out of the weekend, you are cheating yourself out of 43% of your week. You have worked hard for the other 57%.

The weekend allows you to keep going and literally give it 100%.

This post is not to make you feel bad, but to point out that the weekends are a great time to let loose IN WAYS THAT SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR GOALS.

Forbes recently posted an article that stated that there are 14 ways that successful people get ahead over the weekend: Successful people:
1. Make Time for Family/Friends
2. Exercise
3. Pursue Passions
4. Vacation
5. Disconnect
6. Volunteer
7. Plan
8. Socialize
9. Be Artistic
10. Socialize
11. Network
12. Reflect
13. Meditate
14. Recharge

Do something that is in line with your overall life goals and do that instead of things that take you further from your goals. You are worth it! Give it 100% and you'll reach your goals in no time.
