Disconnect from work. Don’t check your work email on your day off. If your workplace has provided you with a cell phone, turn it off.
Change uour routine. Set your alarm so that you wake up at a different time. Plan an activity that you wouldn’t do on a normal workday, such as a leisurely 2-hour lunch.
Get outside and relax. If you work in an office, you probably spend most of your days indoors. On your day off, visit a park, go swimming or practice yoga on the beach.
Focus on important household tasks and leave the rest for another day. If you have to cut your grass on your day off or risk your lawn becoming a jungle, break out the lawnmower. However, don’t hustle to do all your spring cleaning in a single day.
Indulge yourself. Shedule a massage.
Spend time with friends and family. You may not see a lot of the people you care about during your regular workweek. On your day off, see a movie with friends or sit down for family game night.
Take time to yourself. The workweek can bombard you with demanding coworkers or clients. On your day off, spend quiet time alone to decompress.
