6 things to do at the end of the week to ensure a stress-free weekend

  • Do your less-than-fun chores on Thursday evening or Friday morning so you head into the weekend feeling unburdened
  • Before you quit work for the week, make a to-do list for Monday morning so you don’t have to think about it until then
  • Change out of your version of – work clothes – and into your weekend attire as soon as humanly possible
  • Set calendar reminders for any important tasks you don’t want to forget, especially if they aren’t work-related
  • Check-in with any friends or family you may have been too busy to respond to during the workweek
  • Make “plans” for at least one activity you know you’ll look forward to (even if it’s catching up on new episodes of Selling Sunset)

10 Journaling Prompts

  • Reflect on Your Week: What activities or tasks do you find most fulfilling or energizing during the week? How can you incorporate more of these into your daily life?
  • Weekend Rituals: What are your typical weekend activities? Do they truly bring you joy and relaxation? How could you redefine your weekend to prioritize self-care and meaningful experiences?
  • Fear of Boredom: What is your biggest fear about slowing down or not having a packed weekend schedule? How can you challenge these beliefs and embrace the possibility of quiet time?
  • Meaningful Moments: When do you feel most connected to yourself and the world around you? Are these moments spontaneous or planned? How can you create more opportunities for meaningful experiences in your daily life?
  • Self-Care Practices: What self-care activities do you neglect during the week? How can you incorporate more self-care into your daily routine?
  • Present Moment Awareness: How often do you find yourself planning for the future or dwelling on the past? How can you practice being more present in the moment and enjoying the simple pleasures of life?
  • Gratitude Journaling: What are you grateful for today? How can you cultivate a sense of gratitude in your daily life?
  • Boundaries: Do you struggle to say no to commitments? How can you set healthy boundaries and prioritize your own needs?
  • Dream Life: If you could design your ideal day, what would it look like? How can you incorporate elements of your dream life into your daily routine?
  • Future Goals: What are your long-term goals? How can you align your daily actions with your aspirations?
