Have a Good
 Weekend
      @andrefaria
Lessons Learned Reading
Meet John
John is a

Software
Developer
He loves his wife Monica
   and their two Kids
He likes Hiking
He likes to go
  to Italian
 Restaurants
He has
 many
dreams
But he works a lot
And he lives far from work
that means bad traffic everyday
He just can’t
 figure out why
he can find time
 to do what he
    likes one
   weekends...
He has chores left to weekends
And he has work to finish
And his children needs attention
How can we help him?
Well, many of us have trouble
  using our weekends well,
          don’t we?
Our time “disappear into
chores, errands, inefficient
      e-mail checking,
   unconsciously chosen
 television marathons, or a
 death march of children’s
  activities that suck the
energy out of chauffeuring
           adults.”
                Laura Vanderkam
the paradox of weekends
“You have to set an appointment
to go off the grid as surely as to
            go on it.”
There are 60 hours between 6p.m.
       Friday 6a.m. Monday.
Be strategic with these hours
“If you know you
  want to read a
book, then get the
book out and have
 it set aside and
  make plans to
      read it”
      Laura Vanderkam
Your weekends
    should be
 different from
your workdays.
You need Active Rest
“If running is your
    only mode of
  exercise, the same
muscles are always
stressed in the same
 way, increasing the
likelihood of injury,”
      Laura Vanderkam
“Man is so made
that he can only
 find relaxation
from one kind of
 labor by taking
   up another.”
    Anatole France
You need an overall planning
“Anticipation
 accounts for a
   big chunk of
  the happiness
  gleaned from
    any event”
  Laura
Vanderkam
Even if all goes
    wrong in the
 moment you still
 will have derived
some pleasure from
  the anticipation
    Laura Vanderkam
Plan 3 Anchor Events for your
          Weekend
Make a list of
  of your
 100 dreams
Use Mornings
  as well
Keep a (tech) Sabbath
“compressing chores
   and professional
 work into a small
    time frame on
weekends lets you
  relax the rest of
  the time, knowing
that there is a time
 for work, and now
  is not that time”
Laura Vanderkam
“I know I’m in charge
  of me. Everything
   that I do, every
minute I spend is my
       choice.”
     Theresa Daytner
Now, Go Have a Good Weekend
