5 Ways to make the most of your summer weekend

Whether it’s starting the plans for a remodeling project you haven’t had time for or swinging in the summer breeze in a hammock with an iced drink in hand, these 5 weekend activities will help you live intentionally and make the most of your summer weekend.

1. Clean out the entryway. Are all the summer gear and shoes in your entryway getting a little out of hand? Introduce a few baskets or bins to help organize stray items. If things that don’t belong in your entryway keep ending up there, you might want to consider adding a bin labeled “to put away”, and simply making sure it’s emptied regularly.
2. String up a hammock. Even seeing a hammock gently swinging in the breeze makes you feel more relaxed, but actually lounging in one? Even better! If you don’t have trees or a pergola that you can use to hang yours, simply buy one with a freestanding frame.
   

     3.   Get your home ready for vacation. Planning a trip this August? Put aside a bit of time this weekend to prepare for your trip by doing things like lining up a pet-sitter, arranging for someone to water your plants, and generally ensuring your house will be safe while you’re gone. Upgrade your home’s safety features by installing motion-activated lighting, or making sure trees and shrubs around the house are neatly trimmed.  These relatively simple precautions will help make your home less of a target for thieves!
     4.   Turn that unused garage or shed into usable space. Why let that spare space in your garage or shed go to waste when you can transform it into something usable like an art studio, workshop, or game room? Once you decide what you want to transform the space into, your plans will help motivate you to get the space cleaned up before summer is over!
    5.   Slow down. Time flies when you’re having fun. Summer always feels like it flies by too quickly. Go through your schedule for the upcoming week and find out what you can cancel, delegate, or postpone. Once you’ve reclaimed some of your time, don’t fill it with anything. Practice the art of slow living so you can savor each moment of these summer days.
