Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I don’t have to go to work for a few days. But I don’t quite get the same excitement for the weekend that I used to. I hope that you do! If so, how do you cultivate that feeling?

    When you do this long enough, not having to work for a few days is all the reward you need to make Friday exciting.

    Friday is our staff meeting, in which we get a free lunch for attending - so somewhat, yeah!

    Usually yes but not lately because I’ve been having to work most weekends. I haven’t had a weekend off in a few months. Just finished working a few hours ago actually. But I’m blessed to be in a well paying job and im getting great experience. Gotta make hay while the sun is shining.

    I don’t think I’ve ever had a job with weekends off. Or even any other specific days consistently off from one week to the next, more generally. It does sound nice though, I think I’d like that.

    I used to work on weekends so Friday had lost its luster. But I’m at a different job now and all my weekends are off again, so yes, I love Fridays. Even if sometimes I have homework or projects to work on since I’ve gone back to school (I’m in my 40s), I still look forward to having a couple of days to sleep in and mostly do nothing.

    You gotta plan stuff on your weekends. Give yourself something to look forward to.
