My Atomic Habits Journal (Day 20)

Weekends are a funny thing.

Part of me looks forward to the time “off”- not having to get to work is a luxury. The other part of me looks at the weekend as a time in which I don’t get things done.

In a funny way, having restricted time allows for me to get more things done. Too much time off leads to procrastination and finding other ways to fill my time.

I have been fond of this observation: there is no “extra” time just like there is no “extra” money. Time will be used and money will be spent- these resources will be used, it’s just how they are used is the key.

Saving your money? Good choice. Blowing 50$ on a meal out that isn’t even good. You know what I am going to say.

When you are faced with a supposed surplus of time, what do you do? Organize that time like you would your work day or squander it?
