Make your weekend feel longer
Weekends feel short when they have no shape, so this plan uses expert advice to create structure without over-scheduling. The goal is to plan a few 'anchors' midweek to look forward to while leaving the rest of the time open, ensuring you don't turn your rest into another stressful to-do list.
What’s the Catch?
To recover effectively, you must physically and digitally remove work from your environment and engage in activities that contrast your professional life at least one day of the weekend. By swapping screen time for hobbies and using grounding techniques when your mind drifts back to work, you can make the time feel more expansive and restorative.
