What do you do on a weekend?

orangutan

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.

  • I tend to spend most of my free time playing on my PC or reading generally, broken up with a bit of a walk or maybe a run. I hope to get back to writing again when I feel up to it. That is my big passion really Slight smile

    That's great! I hope you manage to get back into your writing - I'd like to write something one day, but for now I stick to journalling or making notes about whatever book I'm reading just to keep myself in the practice of it all really - maybe you'd find that helpful too? I'm not certain.

    I like fantasy novels (Lord of the Rings, anything by Robin Hobb, that kind of thing), some classical fictional works such as Dante's epics, and then some more historical stuff like non-fiction books or perhaps older philosophical texts - particularly works from Taoists and Stoics. What about you?

    Thanks for the tip I have started journalling recently, what kind of things do you like reading?
