Make your weekend feel longer by doing something on a Friday after work. This can be anything from a dinner with a friend, a movie by yourself or just a mooch about the shops. Get out for 2-3 hours after work to extend your weekend rather than rot away the night on the couch after a long week.
Friday is your oyster. There are no expectations for Friday. Plans are a little more spontaneous. You can knock off work early and enjoy the waning daylight. It always feels like my time. I can stay in and cook something and unwind from the week and go to bed early for a full weekend ahead, or I can go out and stay up late and dance until 5am and unwind from the week or I can grab an early drink or dinner with buds and come home and watch a movie. Friday feels exciting and it feels like possibility.
