Ways you can make your weekend productive

Make a To-Do List

Just as you plan out your work week in a daily agenda, work on the same lines for your weekends too, except make it more fun. On Friday, make a list of everything you'd like to complete over the weekend - from grocery trips to visiting friends and slowly work your way through it. That'll make sure you've left nothing out on Sunday night.

Plan Your Week Ahead

Increase your productivity on the weekend by taking just an hour out on Sundays to plan your week ahead. Schedule in meetings you need to attend, work to be completed and events to head to. That's a perfect way to give you a head start and driving those dreadful Monday blues away.

Divide Your Time

At the end of the day, weekends are meant to relax. As nothing in excess is ever good, divide your time equally through the weekend. Schedule time for social gatherings, movie nights, hobbies and planning for the week ahead so that you make time for it all without cutting down on weekend downtime.

Catch up on sleep

To do absolutely anything energetically, your body needs its quota of sleep. And while gathering sleep debt is something we're all guilty of through the week, clear it on the weekend by sleeping on time, allowing yourself to laze around a bit and waking up a bit later than usual. Good sleep will ensure you're high on energy and not groggy. Plus, take a nap too if you feel like it - it's the weekend after all.
