I am planning to binge read a book called 'The Tipping Point' by Malcolm Gladwell.
Also, I'll be planning for the most anticipated PH launch that we are having in the next month.
Weekend chills, lol!
What are your plans? @nataliekarakina

@siddhesh_lokare1 wooow! we are preparing for our launch too! wish us luck!
my plans as short as weekends – take time off the internet and hang out with friends
@nataliekarakina That's wonderful! Sending good wishes and lots of spiritual upvotes already :) Let me know when you do that!
I relax. Literally just that, chill out, read, watch something, eat something good, drink, whatever. With so much focus on always being on the grind relaxing has become a bit lost but it's top tier for clearing your mind
Catch up on emails 😅
But more seriously, I've found it energizing to get out and do something social (live music, comedy, boating, etc.) considering I WFH and rarely see anyone other than @suzywillow on the weekdays.
@suzywillow @rrhoover Catch up emails on weekend and relax during the weekdays? 😝
I'm not that "social" so mine usually involve coding yet another side project or taking my wife and kid to beach or just a night drive 😎
I generally spend time with my family/friends, take lot of long walks that typically pass through or end in a park, and silence my phone 🤫 . I also have a weekly bookclub that caps off every Sunday night. I read 50-70 pages that I then get to discuss with a group of my close friends each week over Zoom . Been going strong since 2014.
@product_at_producthunt a bookclub is a great idea on how to hand out with friends in another interesting way. Cool! Wish u a nice weekend!
I do meditation in the morning, usually longer than on weekdays. Also, I try get out for a hike or some other outdoor sports - for me it's the best way to refresh the mind!
@gleb_braverman Thanks for sharing! There are a lot of people here keen on meditation. Want to try hike at some time too!
I love movies so I keep a movie aside for the weekend to watch.
Apart from that, I write, listen to music or hang out with friends a bit.
On Sunday evening, I write down the agenda for next week.
I refresh my mind by introspecting about the actions & decisions I took, the people I interacted with.
Socializing / spending time with my loved ones is a great way of clearing my mind, but also getting new perspectives if we do talk about work (as a lot of them are also entrepreneurs)
I just hung up a boxing bag in my garage so I am PUMPED for that and I also like running and playing basketball.
Depending on the weather outside :)) In summer for me the best way is to restart the week with nature experience. I love visiting friends living outside the city!
I usually like to catch up with my friends, read books at leisure and cook for my fam. I feel super refreshed afterwards every Monday!
@sandeeptalukdar Do you have a favourite site or maybe a Youtube channel with recipes?
Since I have full time job, weekends are usually the time to work on side projects. If I feel burned out, I go completely social media free and no coding for a day or two 😁
I do love building products so that comes handy 😁
apart from that, I'm trying to build some habits to follow on daily basis. e.g, no laptop/phone after 7, wake up at 4, no sugar diet, etc
Mostly, listening to audiobooks, reading, working out and baking. This weekend, I plan on going for long walks while listening to this magical audiobook that I am halfway through called 'The Invisible Life of Addie Larue' on Audible. Also planning to watch Princess Mononoke by Studio Ghibli!
I've played and recorded music for about 15 years now. Getting to express some emotion through making a lil' music is a great brain-refresher for me!
Weekends is where I like to catch up on my sleep, go for nature walks and spend some nice time with family.
Yeah! Dont lose out on your weekend rest and relaxation, because you will always have pending work and deadlines. Nothing will go to plan. Enjoy the weekend irrespective of success or failure. We just launched on PH today. Do check us out!
Spend as much time as I can at the beach. It may sound cliche but being surrounded by the Pacific Ocean replenishes and reinvigorates my mind. Funny thing is I can't swim. Nature would be my refreshment.
In this regard, meditation helps me a lot. A calm environment, meditation and a positive attitude are what completely reboots me. :)
@samanta_smit maybe, for me, it's a time to watch HeadSpace on Netflix. thanks for sharing! have a nice weekend! :)
Contemplate your preferred future, Organize something, Rekindle a romance, Read an inspiring book, Completely detach with a binge-watch, Bond with your family, Go on a staycation, Do a creative project, Completely unplug from electronics and many more.
I tidy - not clean, not anything long and intense, but I put things in my most-used spaces back where they belong and try to clear surfaces off wherever possible. A clear space helps me relax more, for sure - feels like I have less to do!
