Hey guys! It’s been a while since I’ve made a printable! I always seem to be needing another sheet of paper when I’m planning my weekends so I thought I’d make one because I use this layout so often. It includes an hourly layout from 6 AM to 10 PM and a few blank lines for writing to-dos or anything else you need. 

I’ve printed these on a normal 8.5 x 11″ sheet of paper as well as an A5 size (select A5 in printer settings before printing) and the size works great for me! The A5 size is especially great for sticking it in your planner. I’d love to see it in use! I hope you guys like it!

What’s Up This Weekend

Well, the weekend never comes with a surprise less than what is expected. With the monsoons just bracing the city, fun times have already begun.

Here’s everything you need to do over the weekend in the rain drenched city (In some cases, just a little beyond city limits)

Monsoon Marathon:For the athlete and adventure enthusiast, the monsoon marathon is the perfect escape from the city. Amidst…

Ahh, it’s the weekend. For some people, that means 30% studying and 70% wondering where the time went. I use this method to help keep me on track when I need to stay productive!

Mindset

So, it’s Friday night. In order to be productive on the weekends, it has to start with your mindset. And it has to start Friday night. Start by promising yourself that you’re going to have a productive day tomorrow. Set your alarm for an early hour (different times work for different people) and aim for a full 7-8 hours of sleep (or whatever works for you!). When your alarm goes off in the morning, sit up in bed for a minute and think about how you’re 100% ready to tackle the day and are ready to get things done! Congratulations, your day has just begun! :)

Shower

The first thing I do to feel motivated and ready to accomplish tasks is take a nice shower. For me, this is a big productivity boost because it helps wake me up and makes me feel clean. After that, I put on some perfume, and I pick a scent that matches my mood that morning, so I try to pick a fun, fresh scent.

Breakfast

After my shower, I plan to make a healthy breakfast. This is, of course, easier said than done. I have a huge sweet tooth, so I really have to force myself to eat healthier, but once I start my day with some strawberries and scrambled eggs, it becomes a lot easier to eat healthier during the rest of the day. Eating sugary foods will give you a boost for about half an hour to an hour, but after that, you will become droopy and sluggish, and you won’t want to work for extended periods of time. 

I made a plan for myself: eat at least one fruit with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So, for example, I’d eat strawberries with my breakfast, an apple with my lunch, and a banana with my dinner. That way, I can ensure that I’ve gotten 3 fruits into my day, and it makes me feel really accomplished. I also like to save any sweet things for Mondays and Fridays. That way, I can eat healthy foods the whole week and weekend while saving that sugary snack for the beginning and end of the week.

Weekend Planner

So, after you’ve had breakfast, it’s time to work. But before you get started on that essay for English, grab a sheet of paper and your favorite pen. Draw a line down the middle all the way to the bottom. At the top of the left column, write, “Saturday.” At the top of the right column, write, “Sunday.” 

Now, grab a different sheet of paper and write down everything you need/want to do this weekend. Whether it’s finishing your math problem sets, or outlining an essay for history, or picking up some craft supplies at Michaels, or organizing your desk drawer, write everything down. 

Once you’ve written everything, highlight the things that need to be done by Sunday night. Then, box/circle the things that would be nice if you got them done, but aren’t that urgent. Now take the paper that says “Saturday” and “Sunday.” In the “Saturday” column, write down everything you feel like you can or would like to accomplish today, in no particular order. Include at least one or two of your boxed/circled items. Once “Saturday” is finished, everything else can go in “Sunday.” Remember, be realistic. If you have 52 items on your big list, you probably need to cut some things down.

Since these tasks are written in no particular order, I like to go back and number all of my tasks. Number 1 would be what I feel like doing most in about five minutes. What do I want to do after that? Mark it as number 2. Remember to give yourself breaks in between every two or three tasks. A break could be calling up a friend or reading a chapter of a book. If you just have too many things to do and not enough time to take breaks, consider putting the “want” tasks (like going to Michaels, organizing your desk, or buying stationery) in between your major ones. That way, you’ll be checking things off of your list and taking a nice break!

Hopefully these tips will help you stay productive on the weekends, or even any day! If any of you use this method, I’d love to know what you’ve done and what did or didn’t work for you!
