There are those folks that work on weekends for various reasons: school, or the career field they are in. Or, you may work during the week and want to do more than be on your smartphone or watch TV. Being that I have pulled weekend shifts in the past and have had time off during two and three day stretches, it forces one to be more creative when finding fun activities going on. Here are a few suggestions.
1. Local community/church/college activities.
Check the newspapers and the online calendars. Many of these places have shows, plays, open mics and such during the week.
2. Exercise
Many gyms have active classes during the week, and around in the community. Also, when it's warm out, you can walk, jog or run.
3. Movies
4. Sporting events (youth to professional).
5. Concerts
6. Doctor's appointments, dealing with errands.
These are things that you wouldn't have time to do on a normal week. However, if you're not preoccupied during the week, you can use this time to complete those duties.
7. Volunteer work, including after school tutoring and mentoring.
8. Shopping
9. Taking a casual drive.
10. Trying out restaurants in other cities.
Restaurants aren't usually as packed during this time and often offer good deals. For example, Ruby Tuesdays allows kids 10 and under to eat for free on Tuesdays.
Hope this helps fill the time during the week (which may be your weekend.)
Do you currently do some of these activities? What are some other ones you would add to this list?
