I went to office or work as we know it almost for 20 years. Frankly its hard to remember which weekend was the greatest one. But come Sunday evening and I would have a sinking feeling.
A feeling of losing something…like why can’t I be in this weekend mode for little longer…?
Did you know people around the world are most likely to take a sick leave on Monday?
And then what do you with that leave on Monday? Watch TV, Play Video-game, Smoke extra cigarettes, Sleep… maybe have a “drink” to fuel up for the remaining work week?
I know someone who took a leave on Monday and went horse-riding and someone who went to watch a movie.
The question is what’s wrong with that…?
Well, nothing!
But only if you have complaints about what you are doing…don’t like what you are doing or simply think you can do better in life there is something seriously wrong with you…
Let me explain… You went 5 days to the office and feel you have done “enough work” whatever you did in those office hours…
You feel entitled to “vile away” your time on the weekend because your work week is over. You chill, relax and then on Monday you are full of contempt within you…
You are really angry and frustrated inside that nothing has changed…
Let me ask you this…what have you REALLY done to change what you could be doing with your time?
Did you bother to find time to renew your hobby? Or try to find a paying enterprise or simply contributed something back to society?
No Nothing! Zilch Nada!
The first step to take control of your life (Particularly if you are in the job) is to have “productive weekends”. Find time to build on what you have lost, disconnected or simply forgot.
Recall that enthusiastic, charming and the highly infectious guy/gal whom anyone could notice in silence…
Who was looking to take on life and then just surrendered to being “another brick in the wall”
The workweek grind is no accident…it is designed to keep you busy and feel like you have earned the weekend. You “Chill” this weekend and the Next week will suck you in. (That’s the game you are playing…)
The smart ones will find their calling early and be eager to do whatever they do on Monday. Others will take a sick leave or Get by the week with a “grudge”.
