Simple. There is no โand,โ just โor.โ You work 6 days a week for what? To make your loved ones better off. Do not regret spending 1 or 2 days a week for yourself.

@kan_pocha Thanks! Its a great way
You should communicate your availbility to collegues and family ๐
@hazel_prime That's a great suggestion! Communication is key.๐
@iqra_ariff Indeed. ๐
Make Saturdays your balance day! Start with a 'power hour' for top priorities, then switch gearsโwork in the morning, unwind in the afternoon. Use time blocks to keep focus sharp, and don't forget a mini reward for sticking to the plan. It's all about mixing productivity with a pinch of fun!
You should divide your day into specific time block for different activities
@harold_farnsworth Agree! However, it's also important to be flexible and allow for some wiggle room in your schedule, as unexpected things may come up.
You should stic k to your schedule as such as possible

Set clear boundaries. Batch work tasks, then unplug. Make personal commitments non-negotiable.
Clone yourself obviously ๐ 2 > 1
minimalist phone: creating folders
Try to set timeframes, e.g. 2 hours work, 2 hours of hobbies (repeat) โ it like a refreshing from work :)
Just list all items and set two priorities (P1, P2) and follow the order the completion.
- P1: Must finish by EOD Friday
- P2: Optional items for Sunday onwards
If any items still left unfinished, then just keep it aside, because world is not going to end, but make a meaningful weekend ๐๏ธ. There should always be room for exceptions.
Definitely! ๐ Some tips that work for me: 1) Schedule personal commitments like you would work meetings - block off time on your calendar. 2) Set boundaries with work, like no emails after 6pm. 3) Prioritize self-care - meditation, exercise, hobbies. Gotta recharge to crush the work week! ๐ช Hope this helps balance things out on Saturdays.

It ain't easy! Set firm boundaries w/ work -- no emails, no calls on Saturdays. Block that time for family & you. Maybe do errands/chores early AM to free up the day. Plan something fun y'all can look forward to each week, like hikes or family game night. Treat yo self to some me-time too! ๐ You got this! Work-life balance is key. ๐
