Planning Ahead: Reducing Work Stress With Weekend Prep
Finishing weekend research by Saturday, leaving Sunday free as a buffer. Planning ahead reduces mental stress and helps with workweek productivity.
I have new things to research for work over the weekend, so I plan to finish most of it on Saturday. Since there’s quite a lot to go through, it might take the whole day. If the weather is nice, I’ll go for a jog in the evening. I’m keeping Sunday open as a buffer without any plans. Planning ahead for the next day helps reduce a lot of mental stress—not just for personal plans on weekends, but especially for work on weekdays.
