Ask HN: What is your weekend schedule?
9 comments
No schedule. There's three things basically: Rest, Burn energy, or Maintenance
Rest takes priority, always. It should be properly relaxing. A common trap is social media, gaming, or some other activity that is not exactly rest. Non-rest idleness is how the weekend goes by unproductively.
Next, maintenance. Laundry, groceries, mopping, wiping, cutting grass, cutting hair, visiting relatives. Yes, you have to maintain relationships too.
And then energy stuff when there's excess capacity. Sometimes we drive to a random town, buy groceries from the beach. Throw a party. Build a side app. Hiking. Going for a run.
Reenergizing isn't always just lying down, sometimes you need to move actively too.

If I feel like it, I might spend a couple of hours hacking on OnlineOrNot.
Otherwise, weekends are to be enjoyed outside.
(During the week though, 2 hours every morning before work, working on the business, no excuses)

My weekends are organized the same ways as my weekdays (minus the meetings).
I wake up without an alarm, take a quick shower, open my notebook and write down the tasks I would like to accomplish for the day.
I then get to work.
I will take longer lunch and diners with friends.

I go outside and make no effort to be productive. If I do a project it is with no deadlines or expectations.
Have coffee, then search for the sun, then eat the classic "Alaminuta"...
If I wake up early enough, go for a run too.
nothing, why? It's a weekend
I drink beer, hang out with my wife or do sports

The point of weekends is to not have a schedule
I was basically looking for this answer
As close to my weekday schedule as practical.
Or vice versa.
Routine is better for me.
Good luck.

This problem will probably fix itself once I have children, but until then... I'm curious, if you enjoy your weekends, what does your weekend schedule look like?
