You've worked hard all week. Meetings. Presentations. Emails. More emails. And it's finally the
weekend. Here's the trouble. We spend all week learning how to be productive. So it's
hard to break the seal when Friday comes. You can try to avoid work. But you're still
in work mode. See the key to having a real break during the weekend is to do things that
are not productive. So while turning off the phone is good, creating something with your
bare hands is better. And while turning off the email may be helpful, taking your family
on a hiking trip to a state park will actually help you disconnect. So do something this
weekend that makes you focus on being unproductive and it might just feel like a weekend again.
