The best time to plan the next week is Friday afternoon.
Planning on Fridays can help you better relax and detach a bit over the weekend. It feels GOOD knowing you are locked in for the next week and can just do whatever to recharge over the weekend.
Do a brief reflection of how your week went, what you would do differently, and what you learned (and can apply to your next week).
Then, get all your priorities identified.
Try asking yourself questions like:
- What would I feel proud of accomplishing by end of day next Friday?
- What decisions do I need to make next week?
- What have I been putting off that would be a relief to get done?
- What does meaningful progress on my most important goals look like for next week?
- What truly matters most?
It can also help to identify what you're NOT going to do the next week (Or at least identify your "not yet" items that aren't true priorities yet).
Next, start creating a few dedicated time blocks for your priority work the next week. Block these times off in your Calendar
Finally, get define your very first starting point for each priority work session. Often, just identifying the very first small step, and getting super specific with it, is all you need to lessen the urge to procrastinate and help you jump in, create immediate momentum, and get into Flow

Sunday I will usually figure out what goals I want to accomplish for the week and then break them down a bit and figure out what I need to do each day to reach them.

After this week's launch, we'll review data and feedback. Next week, we'll update our roadmap with a focus on prioritizing the most requested user features. How about you, Anil?

I will still work!
I go through all the work that I've done through the week and then I check the things that I haven't done over the week that I was supposed to do
then I brainstorm the next set of tasks for the next seven to 15 days and then categorize them according to priority and then I add them to my calendar on Sundays!

Sinking deep in the thoughts that after two days, the same routine will resume.

Identify your top priorities for the week. What are the most important tasks that you need to complete?
Take a look at your calendar and start scheduling your tasks for the week. Be sure to block out time for both work and personal commitments.
I try not to think about the next week over the weekend. When things inevitably pop into my head, I jot a note down on my phone to address on Monday.
Being optimistic for the things. Finding solutions & working more.

structure, yet fluidity. weekends offer a canvas to sketch the week's ambitions.
list the big rocks first—projects, deadlines, non-negotiables.
next, sprinkle in smaller tasks. but don't overcommit; life happens.
energy ebbs and flows. plan tasks around your most productive hours.
and, a week isn't just work. pencil in family, exercise, 'you' time.
stillness too. planning involves knowing when to pause, breathe, reflect.
goals aligned with values bring a different kind of fulfillment.
stay open for serendipity. the best plans have room for the unexpected.
review the past week. what lessons are you carrying forward?
at week's end, look back. celebrate wins, learn from misses. adapt.

I usually use the last morning to think about the following week. I have the Vision app on iPhone which allows me to create a visual OKR. I usually set goals, define key results and create tasks out of them. This really helps my mind stay organized.

I try to plan my week on Friday (tasks, schedule and stuff like that) and leave weekend for myself (since I have other plans for Saturday and Sunday). Of course, usually it's impossible to lay out 100% accurate plans, but at least I'll consider what's to be done during the week.
I don't know about the rest, but we have a monthly calendar that is updated weekly. At the end of the week, we review everything we're gonna do the next week and make changes wherever needed. It's so helpful.
BIRTHDAY :)
Cook for myself, clean my house, feet my cat, and read a book.
I catch up on all of the things that require true "deep focus" on the weekends, as I don't have to chat with clients, or staff, during the weekends.
Glad that my routine is just simple. Really hard to follow all the plans
