\"Weekend<\/a>As many of us on John\u2019s programme are looking at the Partnership To Success as an addition to our normal day job, are you finding that you are spending the weekend completing the weekly lesson? Then maybe you should consider that many successful have people adopted many similar traits in order to bring their whole life into focus which might be hard to manage now, but maybe, as you get more successful and can drop the day job, you can start to adopt them.<\/p>\n

Spend time with the family<\/b><\/p>\n

Many busy, even if not successful people, are working long hours during the week and use the weekends to catch up on more work at home at the weekends, but in order to bring the two halves of your life together you should look to the weekend to devote more time to the family.<\/p>\n

Even if there is work to be done, you should allocate small amounts of time to the activity outside \u201cnormal\u201d hours so as not to disrupt the quality time that you need to share with your family, maybe first thing before they get up or last thing at night when they\u2019ve gone to bed.<\/p>\n

Have a hobby<\/b><\/p>\n

One way to relax away from work is to take up a therapeutic activity at the weekend so that you are using the other side of your brain for an artistic activity or take on a physical activity like bike riding which can be shared with the rest of the family<\/p>\n

Get away for the weekends<\/b><\/p>\n

One good way to remove yourself away from work pressures is to go off somewhere away from your home and possibly away from the distractions of phone and e-mail. Maybe a walking weekend on the Moors which will both improve your physical persona and relax you as you can\u2019t be contacted.<\/p>\n

I know of one person who actually sends a day at a local monastery and does meditation for the day both for his own personal well being and also helps him focus on his business activities for the forthcoming work.<\/p>\n

These are just three ways that successful people spend their spare time at weekend and research has shown that those who do take time out of the work regime at weekends are coming back to work more refreshed and ready to take on the hard work for the week.<\/p>\n

How do you relax down at weekends and do you think these methods are worth investigating? I\u2019d welcome your thoughts below<\/p>\n
