Have a peaceful weekend

Most of the routines you follow would fall under one of the categories of a daily, weekly or monthly routine. But have you really thought of a weekend routine?

For people working through the week, the weekend is not just a simple 2 days of bliss. There is laundry, cleaning, shopping, bills and more. If you do not plan the weekend well, trust me , you would feel as if you did not have one, and would really not be up to facing the coming week.

Come Friday night, and I am already dreaming about a peaceful early Saturday and Sunday morning.Yes, you heard me right, I wake up earlier than usual on holidays, and I am still trying to figure out why :).

Now for a sample weekend plan. This would possibly consist of the following items:

1. Laundry Work:
   • Wash clothes
   • Drop clothes off at the Laundrette , if any
   • Plan your dresses for the week, iron them and keep it ready. Saves you a lot of time through the week.
2. Clean and stow away things that have wandered over the week from their places.
3. Plan your meals and accordingly prepare your shopping list.
4. Plan other outings if necessary - doctors, library, wherever …
5. A to-do list for the week
6. Most importantly, set aside my-time to read a book or catch a movie or just plain relax!

The above list, with a few tweaks here and there works well for me.

Do set up a simple routine, and feel yourself enjoying the weekend and ready to take on the coming week with renewed vigor!
