How to Find More Time to Do What You Love on the Weekend

It's been a long week of work and is looking forward to the weekend. You may want to read that new bestseller that has been sitting on his bedside table for weeks, or perhaps are thinking pamper yourself with some homemade treatments spa. However, with all his great plans, when Sunday night rolls around, you look up and discover they have not really done anything. How do you find time to do more of what you like on weekends? Here are some tips:
1. Map of specific activities ahead of time
This means not just say to yourself "I will ... or I have the intention of ...", it means to be specific about when and where. For example, if you want to go biking, for example, or better yet, notes that cycling on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 pm at the park. Being vague about what you want to diminish its importance, and therefore their commitment to make it happen.
2. Be realistic about the time available
To say that is going to try a new recipe this weekend that takes two hours to prepare, when you only have 20 minutes to spare in your day is not practical. Consider the time you have to spend and activity schedule accordingly. If it's something you really want to do, see if other things in your day can be rescheduled. If not, plan on making your next fun activity weekend when you have the time to really enjoy it.
3. Delegate tasks to others
If your weekend is filled with task-oriented activities, see if you can delegate to others. For example, if the laundry is overflowing and you have to get it done, if your spouse or your children can take over this task so you can have time to spend with friends.
4. Remember that the weekend is meant as a break
The weekend was like a break from the work week. Is supposed to be a time to recover and do other things in your life. Fill your weekend with the work not only defeats the purpose, but exhausted its most important resource ... you.
