There are very few people in the world who don't wait for the precious 48 hours that we happily call the weekend. Ah, the weekend; something so satisfying about just the thought of it. But alas, there are also very few people who don't wake up on a Monday morning and wonder where the much awaited two days just vanished. It's all too easy to start another week, feeling like you wasted your entire weekend doing nothing. Although a weekend spent relaxing is far from being a waste, there's something far more satisfying about knowing that you maximised all the free time that you had. After all, there is little you can do when you have a 9 hour job every day of the week. So the weekend becomes the only time to do the things you've really missed out on.
Here are a few things to do over the weekend that'll make you feel more ready for the week come Monday.

1. Catch up with a friend, in person
With technology having taken over our lives, it's easy to forget that you haven't met a close friend in person for a few weeks now. You see their Instagram stories and text every now and then, so you know what they're up to; but it's just not the same as chilling with your friend in person, is it? Take out some time over the weekend to catch up with a friend, whether over lunch, coffee, dinner or just a movie marathon in bed. No matter what you choose to do, the experience will be much more meaningful and refreshing than simply catching up over the phone.
2. Get cooking
If you're someone who works full time, chances are that simply cooking for the pleasure of it is not something you get to do often. Midweek cooking or cooking food to carry with you for work is seldom pleasurable and offers you little chance to experiment. So take the time out over the weekend to cook something that you truly enjoy eating or a recipe that you've been meaning to try out for a while. Step out of your culinary comfort zone and try something new.
3. Change your scenery
If the only thing you find yourself doing over the weekend is going to a restaurant or cafe that you've probably tried before, it might be time to change that. Make use of the amenities your city has to offer, outside of it's cafes and restaurants. Head to a park if it's not too hot, go watch a play, try and find a class you haven't attended before. There are myriad options available if only you look around.
