having my weekends be monday-wednesday has done wonders for me!! yes you miss out on some weekend festivities BUT it means that your days off are truly YOURS. parks are wide open, stores are empty, traffic ain't too bad, the city is MINEEEEE
back when i basically was only doing things on weekends, i think it subconsciously made me feel likeβ¦ weekdays are ONLY work and weekends are only fun. so then the majority of my week was Work Days. which is technically true still but planning things on weeknights (both solo stuff like a class or self-care thing, and social things) make me feel like iβm reclaiming the free time i do have on my weekdays lol. rather than just going home and blanking out. my job is stressful so i def do need days to just do that but since i started intentionally making plans throughout the week instead of just fri-sun it has made a difference for feeling like my life is less absorbed by my job
