Invest time in your favorite hobbies

Whether it’s meditating, reading or exercising, investing time in your favorite hobbies over the weekend allows you to disengage from work, ultimately helping you recover from your week.

Minimize household tasks.

Rethink your weekly schedule to prevent having to do household chores and shopping on the weekends. Think about doing your food shopping online. Try cleaning one room every day, divide the job with family members, and learn to tolerate some chaos sometimes. Spreading out school assignments over the course of the week and imposing time limitations on housework are some suggestions made by author Erin Rooney Doland.
