[Reader Discussion] How to Have a Relaxed and Refreshing Weekend

Every month, we host a ProductiveMuslim reader discussion where you can share ideas and tips to help each other become more productive. Last month, readers shared many interesting ideas on What You Can Do While You Commute.

The theme for this month’s discussion is how you can have a relaxed and refreshing weekend.

Like it or not, the entire world now follows a system of working for an average of five days and taking a one or two-day break at the end of every week. Students, professionals and even parents look forward to the weekend with equal hope (and impatience!) to unwind; and temporarily relieve themselves of the demands of work days. Yet, there’s one thing almost everyone feels at the end of the weekend: ‘how did the weekend end so fast and why don’t I feel rejuvenated?!’

Is every weekend passing by with no noticeable change in your wellness and happiness levels? What conscious choices can we make to truly unwind over the weekend and feel great by the end of it?
