Sneak Peak To What Successful People Do On Weekends!
Successful entrepreneurs are well aware of the fact that their work isn’t limited to Monday to Friday. They know the importance of time and know that time once gone can never come back. Therefore, they use their time wisely because if they want to achieve something they have to do something about it. You just have to prepare your own lead and become more productive, even on Saturday and Sunday.
So, here’s a list of what successful people do on weekends:
-
- Don’t change the sleeping patterns: Successful people don’t change their schedules and sleeping patterns according to different days and holidays. By doing this, they are consistent and aren’t lethargic. Also, this makes their body natural to the flow of sleeping and waking up.
“As tempting as it might be to sleep in, doing so can throw off your sleep/wake cycle, disrupting sleep patterns and giving you a poor night’s rest. Make sure you aim to get seven to eight hours of sleep every night to avoid a sleep deficit. Also, getting up early means you’ll be ready for whatever the day brings and you’ll have time to accomplish all the things you hope to do.”
-Deep Patel at entrepreneur.com - Exercise daily: Successful entrepreneurs definitely indulge themselves in gym or exercise on weekends. Usually, they don’t get enough time to indulge in a productive workout from Monday to Friday. With quality time, they put in their best efforts in exercise required for their body.
Other physical activities like hiking, camping, sports, swimming and so on can be added to the lists which can add flavour to the basic exercise.
“Let loose and break out of your rut by taking yourself on a mini-adventure. Get out of the house and find a change of scenery.
A mini-adventure means sticking close to home, so hiking the Grand Canyon may be a bit much, but an overnight camping trip or a day hike is totally doable. Spend an afternoon at the beach or take your bike out for a long ride. The point is to get out and make a memory that will give you a smile for the rest of the week.”
-Deep Patel at entrepreneur.com - Socialising and building communities: “Human beings need social interaction to lead healthy, productive lifestyles, which is something entrepreneurs recognize. On the precious days when these successful people aren’t working, they take the time to interact with friends and family—or take the opportunity to meet someone new.
And the people truly seeking success never write off a bake sale, 5K, theater performance or arts fair as a silly waste of time. They see it as an opportunity to make connections and grow their presence. Because there are always influential people to meet at these sorts of events, and a savvy entrepreneur will make the time to recognize and meet the people who make up a community.”
– Drew Hendricks at Success - Spend quality time with loved ones: Weekends are the best time when you can avoid your hectic work schedule and concentrate on your important family members and friends. During the weekend time, make sure that you are prioritizing them in your weekend’s to-do list by giving them the quality time.
Here’s a tip by Menachem Brodie at Everyday Power, “Learn to live in the moment…not “in five years when I have accomplished X”. Nothing is guaranteed. Your happiness is directly tied to your physical and mental health. Set the right tone, spend time making great memories, taking adventures, and you’ll reap the benefits for years to come!”
- Don’t change the sleeping patterns: Successful people don’t change their schedules and sleeping patterns according to different days and holidays. By doing this, they are consistent and aren’t lethargic. Also, this makes their body natural to the flow of sleeping and waking up.
- Reading and learning: Every entrepreneur aspires to learn something new. And you can always satiate your thirst by reading something new. In fact, many entrepreneurs talk to other people to know about their experiences and knowledge. They opt for online courses, magazines, conversations and whatever they can gain from.
Another tip by Menachem Brodie at Everyday Power that really makes sense to me is, “Reading should not be limited to work-related topics. Don’t forget to include fiction, as it lights up your imagination and help break the monotony. It also keeps you sharp and alert for new ideas!”
- Prioritize the important things: Lifehack mentions the words of Steve Jobs, “Things don’t have to change the world to be important.” Weekends are the time to remind yourself of the forgotten little things — to keep your work-life harmony (the new ‘balance’) in check and reset if needed. Spending time with your friends, children or partner might not directly increase profits that day or propel you into the limelight, but that doesn’t make it any less important. Even the current US President famously makes time to sit down for dinner with his family.”
- Avoid Multi-Tasking: “Multi-tasking is so 2005. It may be tempting to maximize your weekend productivity by running on the treadmill while calling your mother and trolling your newsfeed, but successful people know that this just reduces efficiency and effectiveness.
Instead, be present for each single activity. Tim Ferris recommends a maximum of two goals or tasks per day to ensure productivity and accomplishments align.” – Know Startup
Look at a bigger picture: “Weekends are an important opportunity to step back and look at the big picture. How are things going in your personal and professional life? An unhurried Saturday or Sunday is a good time to reflect and plan for your future. Are you happy with your career? Is your family life all you hoped it would be? If not, what kind of changes do you need to make?
Get into the habit of reviewing your progress on monthly or yearly goals. Have you been able to workout three times a week? If not, how can you work it in this coming week? By tracking how your goals are progressing, you can make changes as needed for the upcoming work week. These big picture habits help you succeed in all areas of your life – work and otherwise.” –Martineal Phonse
