1. Find a recharge ritual
Find
a ritual that you can follow each weekend that leaves you feeling
recharged. Whether it's an exercise regimen, music or time with your
family, following a ritual can energize you for the week ahead.
Successful entrepreneurs know that, like a vehicle, they can not go far
on empty.
2. Spend time in solitude
It gives you a chance
to think, sort out problems and plan where you want to be in the
future. This can be an excellent opportunity to free write or journal.
Experts agree that free writing during regular scheduled times can lead
to answers to problems, discovering new goals and insight into your
direction for the future.
3. No devices for a day
Take
a Saturday or Sunday and choose to unplug. Taking a break from your
devices for a day is beneficial both mentally and physically. Constantly
being connected and checking email, social media and the places you
visit online can drain both your energy and your creativity. Choosing to
release the hyper vigilance of being constantly connected creates
allows you to live life in real time, resulting in fresh perspectives
and a boost in productivity.
4. Reflect
What did you do
well this past week and what did you do wrong? How will you be better in
the week ahead? Reflecting on the past week offers the successful
entrepreneur the opportunity to determine which activities to continue
and which to let go. Reflection is a valuable investment of your time
that will help you set the goals that will get you to the next level of
success during the upcoming week.
5. Plan your week ahead
The
successful entrepreneur doesn’t wait until Monday morning to plan for
the week. Sunday is the perfect day to sit down and draw a plan. After
spending time reflecting on the prior week, you will have a good idea of
what you need and want to accomplish. Use this time to schedule
important tasks, phone calls and face-to-face meetings that align with
your goals. Planning out the entire week ahead as much as reasonably
possible guards against missed opportunities and costly errors.
These
five weekend habits appear so simple that you may be tempted to dismiss
them as non-essential. But the entrepreneur that begins to add these
habits to their weekend routine will find themselves steps ahead every
Monday morning.
