I know I want to live a productive life because I mean, being productive is the first step to being successful.
If you want to be successful, you want to live each day productively.
There are certain habits that productive people live by. In fact, when others hang their boots every Friday, productive people do not stay unproductive during the weekends.
What are the weekend habits of highly productive people?
1.Sleep early and wake up early
“Early to bed and early to rise.” Productive people make sure to sleep early at night, so they can wake up early in the morning.
They understand that if they do not sleep early to wake up early, they will spend the next day unproductive. They don’t spend a good part of the morning sleeping, they spend it being productive.
So, even though it is weekend, productive people keep to their habits of early to bed and early to rise.
However, this doesn’t mean that they can’t sleep in on some weekends.
2. Exercise
Exercising during the weekdays can sometimes be difficult because of so much work that one may have to catch up with.
So, one of the weekend habits of highly productive people is to exercise and stay active.
They make sure they invest time into exercising and keeping fit, so they can live long and healthy lives.
3. Spend time with loved ones
Productive people understand the joy of spending time with loved ones, so they don’t take it for granted.
They know that being around people who we love and who love us too is also very important in living a fulfilled and satisfied life.
It makes us happy and motivates us to even do better in every other area of our lives.
4. Plan
One thing productive people don’t do is while away the weekend. Even though they take time to enjoy their weekend, they also take the time to plan ahead for the week.
They do not wake up on Monday morning without a plan, so their Mondays are always organised as they were already prepared for it and it sets the tone for the whole week.
They already know what they want to achieve in the coming week and how they are going to set to achieve it.
5. Reflect
Productive people use their weekends as an opportunity to take a step back and reflect. They either reflect on the past week, month or even the part of the year that has passed.
They think on the goals they had, what they have done to achieve it if they have achieved it and if they haven’t, are they close to achieving it? What are the obstacles or distractions?
What mistakes have they made and how can they correct the mistakes? They also pat themselves on the back for the job they did well and show gratitude for it.
6. Pursue your passion
The weekend is a good time to pursue one’s passion and so, productive people take advantage of it. They take time to do something they really love to do and enjoy it alone or with loved ones.
Working is good and playing is also good; it helps the brain rest and also makes the brain ready for more work.
7. Read
“Readers are leaders.” Productive people spend time reading.
If they do not have the time to catch up on at least, some chapters of a book, they spend their weekend doing that. Productive people are constantly learning.
8. Go on vacation
Weekends are a great time to go on vacation. Travelling is a great way to learn and productive people recognise that, so they take time to travel.
They have fun and learn about other people’s culture. It broadens their knowledge and helps them find a better perspective on life in general.
9. Socialise
Humans are social beings, so productive people don’t deceive themselves that they can do it all. They don’t isolate themselves and refuse to socialise.
While they appreciate and take some “me” time, they also make time to be around friends and people of similar interest to network.
10. Volunteer
There is something that giving back does to us; it makes us happy and inspires us.
Highly productive people see the importance of volunteering their services to help other people and it is no surprise that it is one of their weekend habits.
