Top 5 weekend habits for a better week ahead
Getting the best from your weekend to help for a better week!
If you want a successful week, you should think about making your weekend worthwhile!
Usually everyone feels that when it comes to the weekend it is time to relax and do nothing. That is not wrong at all, but instead of that you can use your weekend to prepare a successful week. Whether you’re new to habit-building or you’re an expert, give these entrepreneurial five weekend habits a try in order to set yourself up for a successful work week.

Sleep!
Most people think that sleeping is not a must-do at weekends, but it is. Leaving out this habit sets you up for failure by making it hard to get up on schedule on Monday mornings. You need to sleep a minimum of 7 hours every day in order to stay healthy. Sleep deficiency causes trouble making decisions, controlling your mood and solving problems. These effects can make your workdays unsuccessful. Beside these, if you don’t sleep enough you have a higher chance of heart disease, diabetes or stroke.

Have fun!
Weekend is the part of the week when you stop working. Use the weekend to relax, unwind and pursue your hobbies.

Make a habit of having fun on weekends to clear your mind and go back to the office feeling refreshed.
-
Be thankful!
Many successful people give thanks every weekend. Instead of hating the upcoming work week, make a habit of taking time on the weekends to be thankful for all of the good things in your life. If you ask yourself why, here are a few things to take into consideration: you have a job, you have a home, you have your family, you have friends etc. You’ll find that making a habit of gratitude makes the upcoming work week easier to face and more enjoyable. At harder times you can re-rethink the things that you are grateful for and the week will become easier.

See the forest, not just the tree
In the weekends you can see things in big screen: your career and also your love life. An unhurried Saturday or Sunday is a good time to reflect and plan for your future. If you need to change something, it is the perfect time to figure out how. These big-picture habits help you succeed in all areas of your life - work and other things.

Plan the next week!
Most people hate to think about the next week at the weekend. You should know, that it’s much better to think about and plan the week ahead on Sunday night then Monday morning. It is not only about what work you need to do, it is also about what you will wear or buy in the supper. This habit will save you a ton of headache on Monday mornings, enabling you to be much more successful during the week.
