If you’re like me, most of the time you can actually spend doing the things you truly want to be doing must be packed into the 48 hours between Friday and Monday. That said, you probably find it difficult to figure out how to make the time you have feel meaningful and fulfilling before jumping back into the workweek. So here are some tips on how to make the most out of your days off.

1. Plan ahead. Far ahead.

2. Build around your “non-negotiables”

3. Outsource your errands

4. Get outside, it pays off in more ways than one

5. Set aside time to spend with yourself

6. Do something meaningful

7. Switch off

8. Plan ahead, again

Live the life that makes you happy
