Harsh reality about weekends

-

Every Friday, people at work or in the community would ask, “What are your plans for the weekend?”

How do you reply?

Let me share with you some interesting facts about the weekend:

Out of 365 days in a year…
231 are days spent at work – for those with 5-day work week setup
Only 104 days are left for weekends
Add the (more or less) 30 days of leaves and public holidays
It’s just about 34% of the whole year
How much *less for those who work 6 days a week
Think about your priorities.

For me, Saturdays and Sundays are precious gifts we can use to recharge and connect even more with our family, either outdoors or at home.

Let’s use our weekends wisely by balancing self-care and quality family time. Avoid overbooking with excessive activities that steal moments from loved ones.

Just look again at what the numbers above say.
