On The Weekend Like Usual

Today I want to talk about weekends. The reason I wanted to go over them is because there is tremendous confusion and misinformation circulating about them. This of course means that there is great opportunity here. Before we go over how you can make the most of your weekends, I want you to let go of the following ideas.

1. Work is bad/ don't work on the weekends: Work is not bad. If you're a criminal then it is bad but if the work you are doing helps people, it can't be bad or evil for you to do this every day of the week. Also, by work I don't mean the work you do at your job, not necessarily at least. By I work I mean you should be doing those tasks which get you closer to your dreams. Whatever that may mean to you. You should be doing things everyday that help make your dream come true. And this doesn't have to be about money. Spending time with kids, not in excess though(at least not yet, not until you have a couple million in your bank account) is work. Also, reading some self-help material, this is also work. Anything that gets you closer to your dream is work and that is why I love work. I work for my dreams I don't work for my employer. My employer, that job, is a part of my dream and so it's still very important, I am not saying it is not important. Do you see the shift? Everything that is good or me and my dreams is work. And because I love my dreams I am going to love work and I am going to want to do it everyday. 

2. Weekends are for fun ONLY: I am not against fun. I do believe that we shouldn't do so much of it, especially when we aren't financially stable. If your bank account is in danger of going negative, you should not be taking weekends off. If your bank account has a couple millions, you still shouldn't be taking weekends off. Once you have reached billions, you may want to consider taking a weekend off(or not haha). However, I do believe that you should take care of any things you need to do at the house, organize your environment, and so forth. See the thing is you can do many things in life. What I'm trying to cover in this paragraph is that you should do things that get you closer to your dreams, this should be what puts a smile on your face. Example: If you are married, go get dinner with your spouse and a friend you can network with. Or you can invite a friend you haven't spoken to in months for dinner. Or you can go do charity work. Or you can organize your home. All these things get you closer to your dreams. They push you up. This is what should excite you and make you happy. Nothing can make you happier than your dreams can. 

Now for some quick numbers I wanted to go over. There are 52 weekends each year. That's 104 days (Saturdays/Sundays). Humans need on average 7-8hrs of sleep so that means that there are 1,768 hrs of weekend time for the average person. That is a lot of time!!! Make the most of it!
