You’ve got two days — just 48 hours — before the workweek hits again. Instead of letting it fly by, why not make it count? Whether you’re trying to get ahead, recharge, or knock out that nagging to-do list, here are 6 productive Things to Do you can do over the weekend to feel accomplished and re-energized.


1. Declutter One Area of Your Home

Pick a closet, your desk, or that dreaded junk drawer. In just 1-2 hours, you’ll gain back physical space — and mental clarity. Bonus: Donate anything you no longer need.


2. Plan Your Week Ahead

Spend 30 minutes outlining your goals, meals, and key priorities. A weekly plan helps reduce stress and boosts focus come Monday morning.


3. Tackle a “One-Day Project”

Whether it’s fixing a leaky faucet, reorganizing your files, or finally hanging those pictures — pick one task that’s been on your list for too long and cross it off.


4. Invest in Self-Care (Not Just Netflix)

Sleep in, go for a long walk, read a book, or try a yoga class. True productivity isn’t just doing more — it’s also recharging effectively.


5. Learn Something New

Dedicate an hour to watching a tutorial, taking an online course, or reading about a topic you’re curious about. Small learning sessions compound over time.


6. Reconnect with Your Network

Call a friend, grab coffee with a mentor, or reply to that message you’ve been ignoring. A strong network is a hidden form of productivity — it opens doors when you least expect it.


Pro Tip: Don’t overpack your weekend. Choose 2-3 of these and do them well. You’ll head into Monday feeling refreshed and accomplished.
