“Weekends are not meant to be weak ends to the work week.”

In a society driven by the demands of the workweek, weekends often become a respite, a time for rest and rejuvenation, which to many, has become an excuse for excess consumption and an inadequate amount of movement.

However, what if we were to view our weekends as an opportunity to unlock our true potential and make significant strides toward our dreams and goals?

By dedicating our weekends to passionate pursuits, with just as much dedication and commitment given to our jobs during the workweek, we can break free from the ordinary and embrace a life of extraordinary fulfillment.

At the core of dedicating weekends to our aspirations lies passion and purpose.

We infuse each waking moment with fervor and enthusiasm by identifying what ignites our soul and aligning our weekends with these ambitions. For me, it was photography, I love taking photos, and that is something I can do more of during the weekends than a work week, so why would I not take advantage of that time - to get more sleep?!?!

Whether it be honing a skill, exploring a creative endeavor, or embarking on an entrepreneurial journey, our weekends become a playground for self-actualization. By fueling our passions, we cultivate a sense of purpose and fulfillment that spills over into all aspects of our lives.

Just as we set goals for our professional endeavors, it is crucial to set clear objectives for our weekend pursuits.
