If you don’t feel rejuvenated and keen to face Monday after two work-free days, you're doing your weekend wrong.

2 types of leisure

  • Casual leisure: short-lived, immediately gratifying, and often passive; it includes activities like drinking, online shopping, and the aforementioned binge-watching.
  • Serious leisure: meaningful, challenging activities that cause you to grow as a person.

The instinct for leisure

The instinct for leisure

We need to be as vigilant about the quality of our free time as we are about the quality of our work.

In a live-to-work society, where your career is also your identity and status, the instinct for leisure atrophies. Paradoxically, then, getting a good weekend means working at leisure.

Socialize

Socialize

Socializing strengthens the immune system and boosts mental health, reducing depression. 

Passive, solo leisure activities like tending to social feeds and playing video games reinforce absence in lives already starved for presence. Digital networks are not the same as human networks, and they won’t provide the same benefits as a real community.

Cultivate a hobby

Cultivate a hobby

Hobbies have been proven to reduce stress and loneliness, and senior citizens with hobbies may be less susceptible to dementia.

Deep engagement in an activity unleashes the “flow” state, which arises from immersion and mastery so intense that time seems to drop away.

Cultivate altruism

Search for some volunteer activities. Most volunteers have a clear sense of purpose and meaning.  

Studies found that spending time on others makes people feel highly effective and capable, which has the effect of expanding time.

Play

Play

By definition, play is fluid and has no known outcome or necessary beginning and end. True play doesn’t try to tame time.

Expand your idea of play to include flirting, reading out loud to someone, daydreaming, and other purposeless and pleasurable moments.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
