How do you manage workload on Fridays, so you can enjoy the weekend without feeling overwhelmed?

Don't leave any work to the weekend! This fallacy is way too common and I do it sometimes too; I think I got so much time ahead of me until Monday and I can figure out a couple tiny work responsibilities over the weekend. Just wrap up on Friday as you are supposed to, have a fresh start on Monday morning and clear your head off of any responsibilities hanging over your head.

Ivy Lee Method 🙌 I plan 6 tasks for my work day, prioritise them by urgency and stick strictly to the schedule.

Try to complete all my tasks before day end.

Nothing special.

Always have 3 tasks only for the day and prioritise by "urgent" and "can wait until monday" then write it down so you know you won't forget after the weekend and allow yourself to switch off

Proper planning.

What happens at work, stays at work).

To me, work isn't predicated on days of the week, or certain times. Clearly when you're at the office, you're in "work mode" but the "grind" to create more opportunities extends beyond the office. So the way I try to balance work/life, I make sure that when I'm with the people I love, I put my phone down and focus on them. I find the biggest challenges to be around efficiency with your time whenever you sit down to do work. Meetings for example, most of them can be cut back 75% or more. For example, a meeting that could last 7 minutes, extends past an hour.

Reflect on my accomplishments for the week to boost my motivation.

I go extra hard to be efficient from Monday thru Thursday. This allows lighter workloads on Fridays so I can ease my way into the weekend.

Might find it cliche but everyday managing your tasks and doing it on priority basis can help . Rest it’s individual’s capability and ability to manage!

Fridays can be stressful, but I've learned to handle my time more effectively by prioritizing my workload, setting achievable goals, and delegating responsibilities when I can.

I literally always end up working on Sundays #guilty I actually kind of like it though. I’m not boring I swear!

Make a to-do list and prioritize your tasks. Identify the most important tasks that must be completed before the weekend and focus on those first.But be realistic about what you can accomplish on Friday. Avoid taking on too much work that will leave you feeling overwhelmed and stressed.

Practice time blocking to ensure I have enough time for each task.

Use productivity apps and tools to streamline my workflow.

Take regular breaks throughout the day.

You guys are enjoying weekends?
