What do you do on a weekend?

As the title says, really.

I find that on a weekend I get up fairly early (5:15AM) as I don't like doing lie-ins. I'll then head to the gym at some point that morning and do a class or two, or perhaps just do a workout/swimming session and/or spend time in the spa. More often than not, I have absolutely nothing else planned for the weekend, meaning I have two long afternoons that drag out and I do nothing but procrastinate, making me feel unproductive and bringing my mood down.

I used to enjoy gaming and I do still occasionally, but not so much now, and it feels like such a waste of time when I do it. I'm trying to be more forgiving with myself, and right now I'm laid in bed watching Impractical Jokers, which I enjoy and don't feel so bad about doing, but it'd be nice to have some more things to fill my weekend with.

I'd like to know what everyone else gets up to on the weekend.

  • My weekends vary. I work some weekends so that speaks for itself. However if I’m not working I like to try and plan at least one social activity. For me this involves spending time with my friends or partner. But, if that’s not possible you can always look up social groups in your area.

    Aside from social commitments I do hobbies such as: going to the gym, reading, walking, scrapbooking, puzzles, watch movies/shows and catching up on my favourite youtubers.

    I also take the time at the weekend to catch up on chores and prepare myself for the week ahead. Like laying out a general schedule.

  • Thanks for this Wib, I think a weekend job would probably be a good idea for me just so I can keep myself occupied. I do like to prepare myself for the week ahead by relaxing a little, but then I beat myself up about being so unproductive especially with me managing quite a lot Monday-Friday.
