It’s 5 p.m. on a Friday, and you are getting ready to leave your office job and enjoy your weekend by not doing any work. Sound familiar?
While we aren’t questioning your working habits, if you can relate to the above sentence, and if you take off the weekends, then you are likely wasting a lot of time. As a result, you probably aren’t where you want to be in life, and your goals and dreams might have even been put on the back burner.
Here’s the deal: If you want success, then you have to work for it. While so many people are looking for that secret ingredient for success, the real way to make all of your wildest dreams come true is by working. You can dream as much as you would like, but your dreams will stay in your head if you don’t take action.
Therefore, if you want success, you should be using the weekends to your advantage. If you are really hungry, then you can treat Saturday and Sunday as normal workdays. With that said, everyone needs downtime, or else they will burn out in no time.
Still, you should be putting in work on the weekends, whether that is going to conferences to network, working on your passion project, figuring out ways to make your business/work life better, etc.
Just like with the weekdays, you should come up with a schedule during the weekends. If you do this, then you will accomplish so much — to say the least. You will be able to get ahead of the competition by working extra hours, you will get to spend quality time with friends/family and you will get to enjoy your life outside of work.
A great idea would be to work first thing in the morning on the weekends. In that scenario, you will get your work out of the way, and then have the rest of the day to do whatever you want.
There are certain things highly successful people do on the weekends, and these things typically don’t involve squandering time and not doing any work.
