Book description
Laura Vanderkam, the author of What the Most Successful People Do
Before Breakfast, reveals how to make the most of your weekends
in What the Most Successful People Do on the Weekend.
Many of us breathe a grateful TGIF when Friday rolls around,
envisioning a weekend full of both productivity and refreshment. Yet
too often our precious weekends seem to disappear, eaten up by
unproductive work or leisure that fails to energize us. Monday morning
comes too fast, finding us still unrested, with tasks still undone.
Time management expert Laura Vanderkam, continuing her series on
What the Most Successful People Do, shows how we can take
control of our weekends to get necessary rest while also using our
downtime as a springboard to a productive week.
Drawing on real-life anecdotes and scientific research, Vanderkam
explains why doing nothing can be more exhausting than doing something
and why happy people make weekend plans in advance. She shares weekend
tips gleaned from busy people such as politician and news host Mike
Huckabee, former CEO Frank Baxter, and TV producer Aliza Rosen. She
lists the kind of weekend activities that make people happiest,
explains why it's important to unplug at least for a little while, and
shares the secret of why Sunday nights may be the most important hours
of the weekend.
What the Most Successful People Do on the Weekend is a fun,
practical guide that will inspire you to rethink your weekends and
start your workweek refreshed, renewed, and on track.
