Do you want your weekends to last longer? Well have I got news for you, we're about
to make that happen my friend.
Hey I'm Natalie Sisson and I love long weekends. I think in this day and age too
many people are working way too freaking hard when we should be having all week
weekend's. Wouldn't that be miraculous. Actually that wouldn't be such a great thing just
because when you have too much of a good thing you don't appreciate it as much
but I wanted to share one tip with you that I've been trying out for about the
last six months with amazing results. It's called a long weekend. Every single
Friday is freedom Friday and for me I can do this because I have a business
that's systemized and automated and a team and I've been
running it and designing it so that I can step away from it at any time so
every Friday is freedom Friday. What the heck does that mean? Well that
means that I can get up whenever I want but I typically still get up at the same
time. I can read, I can write, I can paint, I go for a massage, I might go for a
facial, I hang out with friends and family, I go on a hike, I do anything that
is not related to work and typically I stay off my laptop completely unless I'm
learning like a course and I stay off social media and most likely the
internet. So I find that just having that disconnect on a Friday makes me feel so
good going into the weekend and the other benefit of it is that it actually
carries through into the weekend. So that I feel come Monday, I've had this amazing
break. It also sometimes makes me more motivated to do a little bit of
productive focus work on the weekend in the area
that I really like. So maybe some more learning or maybe writing or something
that's really important to me because I've taken that entire Friday off and
then typically a Saturday and a lot of a Sunday, it kind of makes me want to get
organized for the week ahead on a Sunday
which is never a bad thing. Now you might be sitting there going that's all
fine and dandy for you miss Natalie I can't take Friday off. Well that may be
the case but could you take an hour off on a Friday? Could you have an extra-long
lunch? Could you have a siesta in the afternoon? Could you knock off around
3:00 p.m.? Could you get up earlier and finish later? In which ways can you
extend your weekend. Here are some other tips for you short breaks away. Every
single month could you take an extra long weekend? Could you knock off on a
Friday and have a Monday free and have a four day long weekend?
I bet you could if you planned ahead in advance and that's probably where my
plan your ideal freedom year workshop comes in. The link is below. If you want
to plan out your entire year, feel amazing, understand and design your
business to fit your lifestyle so you can have Freedom Friday's that's
probably what you want to be looking at. It's just below. Another way to have an extended weekend of sorts is to actually pick up
a new hobby or discover a new skill. It may sound a bit strange to you but if every
single weekend you're doing the same thing it's sleeping in, you're sticking
to your old routines, it can actually feel pretty heavy but if you're
discovering a new skill or you're doing a new thing completely like going up in
a hot-air balloon or having a tennis lesson, it can actually feel really
invigorating and like you've just kind of extended your time on holiday which
is your normal weekend. So discovering a new hobby, picking up a new skill and
simply doing something completely out of the ordinary for you is a great way to
feel like you've extended your weekend especially if you're offline because
time just go slow when you're not looking at your phone. Another thing you
can do is embrace Sunday and forget about Mondays I believe it is Mr. Gary
Vaynerchuk who did a bit of a rant on a video recently talking about why are you
wiling away the weekend worrying or stressing out about going back to work
on Monday. Why are you complaining all weekend that work sucks and you don't
want to go back when you actually have a weekend to enjoy and on that note that's
the one thing I will agree with Gary on. I completely completely don't understand
why people moan about going back to work or into their own business on a Monday.
Get another job or start a business that you love or figure out how you can
reclaim your time and do work that you love so that you embrace Monday like
crazy and you enjoy your weekend fully. There is nobody stopping you. There is
nobody nobody holding you back from enjoying your weekend and doing the work
that you love. So if this has been going on for way too long and you sound like
Mr and Miss miserable every single Friday when you start complaining about
work on a Monday, you need to change your life and it starts with one step and
making a decision. Much like me quitting my corporate job ten years ago when I
had just had enough and I didn't want to wake up in the morning to go to work. I
made a serious change. I took a leap of faith, I quit and I started my own
business. Sure it was hard work but you know what? I was intent on designing life
the way I wanted. I didn't want to sit around for another eight years and be
stuck in that job being that person commuting every day and whining about
how shit my job was and how much I had in my life. Why would I ever do that when
life is beautiful and I'm in control of it? And finally another way to make your
weekend seem so much longer and more awesome and I alluded to it earlier is a
no email, in fact no internet weekend might feel a little freaky at first but put
your phone away or put it on flight mode or do not disturb mode, don't go anywhere
near your laptop or your computer and you will have so much space and so much
joy and so much freedom and your weekend will feel that much longer. Trust me. Try
it out let me know in the comments below how you have extended your weekend to
feel like a true free weekend and if you can take a Freedom Friday, I look
forward to hear in the comments how awesome that feels.
