The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast - with Dr. Dawn

Hello, and welcome back to The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, CEO/Founder of Dr. Dawn ShopTalk and we are going to help you have a little extra fun over the weekend while keeping you from feeling burned out by the time Monday rolls around with these 5 easy strategies!
Tip #1: Prioritize "Me" Time - Ladies, I can't stress this enough – you need to prioritize yourself. Make a conscious effort to schedule some "me" time during the weekend. This could be as simple as curling up with a good book, taking a long bath, or going for a leisurely walk. By carving out time just for you, you'll recharge your batteries and reduce burnout.
Tip #2: Plan Your Weekend in Advance - To ensure you have time for relaxation and fun, you need to plan your weekend intentionally. On a Friday evening or Saturday morning, sit down and outline your weekend activities. Allocate time for chores and tasks but also make sure to block off slots for activities you genuinely enjoy.
Tip #3: Embrace the Art of Saying "No" - It can be challenging to find time for relaxation when your schedule is overflowing with commitments. So, don't be afraid to say "no" to certain activities or tasks. Set boundaries and choose the most important things to do during your weekend. Saying "no" can be liberating and help you regain control over your time.
Tip #4: Technology Detox - We're all guilty of spending too much time on our screens. It's essential to take a break from the constant barrage of notifications, emails, and social media. Dedicate a few hours or even a whole day to a technology detox.
Tip #5: Seek Out New Adventures - Sometimes, relaxation and fun can come from seeking out new adventures. Step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. Sign up for a class, explore a new hobby, or visit a place you've never been to.
There you have it, 5 easy ways to ensure you're finding time for relaxation and fun over the weekend. Thank you for tuning in to this episode of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast! Be sure to Rate, Review, Subscribe and Share!
