Summary

What if you were able to have a 3 day weekend EVERY week? Obviously you still need to show up to school 5 days a week and give your best each day.

But you can shift your perception of how the week is structured to maximize time for rest and recovery. Listen as I share:

How all days/hours are not experienced equally (some are more valuable for specific purposes, some feel longer and other shorter)
Why weekends feel too short, and how beginning them sooner is a better solution than stretching them out longer
How to approach your time each day of the week to get your most productive work done before the “long weekend” and truly relax on your time off

This episode is a playful approach to mindset. Experiment with how you use your time so that you can have more time for everything that matters most!
