This Labor Day weekend, make mindful decisions on how you spend it. Read how to spend your three day weekend like a CEO without breaking the budget. They know how important it is to take time to refuel and refresh for the week ahead.


Here are some ideas:


Work On Your Bucket List
Don’t already have one? Create one and check at least one off. Think about what YOU want to do during your life and work towards those goals! Your bucket list should include both long-term and short-term goals.

How to Make A Bucket List


 
Get Ready For The Workweek Ahead
A three day weekend is important is destress and take time off work. Plan ahead by taking time to go through documents and sort what needs to be deleted, sorted, re-named, and/or color-coded. Go through your to-do list and prioritize what needs to be done and what you can get rid of. Come into work prepared for the week ahead, rather than feeling overwhelmed.

 
"Most of what they do happens before they leave for a long weekend so that they are psychologically free to relax and enjoy it," a national workplace expert and author, Lynn Taylor explains.

Zen Your House
I recommend starting this project by silencing your phone and playing some relaxing music. A downtempo or ambient mix will work best for creating a upbeat, but tranquil environment.  Light an incense or spray your favorite cleansing fragrance (eucalyptus spray is a great, cheap option).
Now, you are ready to zen out your house. Start by de-cluttering, adding plants, let the light in, play around with earthy, light colors, and remove an unnecessary decor. It'll boost your mood and make you more productive.
