35 and childless by choice here! I can relate to this guide and am proud to say that my weekends look a lot like this already (when I have nothing going on). Glad I’m doing something right! 🤭
I love this! That balance is so real. Sometimes if I do *nothing* all weekend, I end up more anxious, not less. Getting a few things done actually helps me relax. You really nailed that balance.
This is the dream! And actually despite a tonne of kids and now not being in the city, there’s
still some form of this that can work for me. Reading it like this kinda makes you realise you do choose the shape of your weekend and to prioritise that, thank you😘
I almost forgot! I am a relatively newcomer to Substack and I love its gentleness. I’ve spent many a quiet evening and Sunday scrolling and saving lovely writings ❤️
I love this. I started a couple of months ago to not make any arrangements for Sundays. If the weather suits, I might spend some time outside trying to tame the wilderness that is my garden. Or just a coffee out there if it’s nice. Or not. Maybe I’ll do a bit of light housework. Maybe not. Sometimes my 16yo and I go the local charity shop. Nice breakfast (always dippy eggs and soldiers), a nice lunch and maybe a roast. Nice and easy, no rush. Makes me feel like I’ve had a good and restful weekend, not resentful I crammed so much in it sped by and now it’s bloody Monday again.

Hahaha I’m so sorry.

Same here!! If I have a super busy weekend that is all play or all rest, I actually feel worse. I’m glad this resonated!
You are speaking my language! I may be 23 and live in Idaho but I felt this guide in my soul
Yesss see you get it!
Yeah Angelina's cracked it. Pocketing this for this weekend, thanks v much.
The most ideal of weekends, brava!!

A Friday night everything shower is so healing after a busy week. Truly a luxury to have no plans on the weekend sometimes

Yes exactly!! Allowing ourselves to actually have time to just linger and enjoy things as we do.
Haha I love this!! I prefer to go out out on Friday, then have Saturday as a total relaxation day at home, then Sunday for fun work (like writing)!
That works too!! I am just normally zonkedddd by Friday so my energy is too low to go out haha
revisiting this on thursday ready for the weekend... thank u <3
Yesss, report back on Monday!!
