You can set up the new week to be productive by having your weekends work for you.

Having a day when you reset and a day where you do all your decision-making, you can ensure that your workweek is productive and constantly improves.

If you want to know how I set up my weekends for a productive week, keep reading!

Saturday Reset

According to Google, the definition of reset is set again or to sit differently.

We aim to set up our minds again for the week, and if need be, we may set it up a new way. When you set your mind differently, you allow yourself to improve and to reflect.

I try to have a reset every week on a particular day, so I choose Saturday.

I start my day by asking myself:

Okay, what did I do well last week? What can I do to improve from last week?

I decide to journal these answers to reference whenever I feel like I'm falling into bad habits.

If I did everything I was supposed to do the previous week, I would use Saturday to catch up on my shows or go out. If I don't do everything I'm supposed to do the previous week, I will use Saturday to catch up on any work. I do this because I don't want my prior week's work to bleed into my new week.

No matter what, I do a deep clean on my room and, if possible, my entire house.

I also use this time to create the graphics for my blog posts. I don't consider this work because I get incredibly creative, which is very cathartic.

Sunday Decisions

Now, Sunday is when stuff gets done.

Sunday is my scheduling day, and I schedule everything.

I schedule:

•What I eat for the week

•What I wear for the week

•Trades

•Blog post

•Social media posts

•Time block how my entire week will go.

I have a scheduled day because I want to take out the decision fatigue from my week.

I am one of those people who will spend minutes just trying to figure out what I will eat for the day. This back-and-forth that goes on can take away from my creativity, time, and general productivity.

Putting all that decision-making into one day allows me to think freely and creatively throughout the week.

Conclusion

No, I'm not saying that you have to do these things on the weekend. You can choose a reset day and a decision-making day to fall on any day of the week. Having days for these two things improves our productivity every week.

So Goal Getters, do you like this weekend setup? Do you think I should add anything? Let me know in the comments; I would love to hear from you!
