For people like me who work all round the clock; no weekends, no public holidays; having a relaxed weekend may just be a mirage.

But in between the week days and weekends, I try to utilize the spare time to catch a quick sleep, attend to my blog, create time for my wife and maybe read books.

In reply to Ahmed. Salaam, now that sounds so tiring. But you have limits, sir. Just schedule few minutes for indoor exercise and have a good of book of light reading apart of your medical stuff. Talk to your peers and family things happen everyday aside of anything related to medical, I'm sure you can ease this burden too. May Allah grant your efforts in helping patient to regain healthness.

Assalamualaikum.

I have my weekend as my daily routine. I always sleep early at night and wake up early in the morning. It makes me feel ‘fresh’ all day long. If I try to sleep in the morning during weekend, I feel really guilty to myself since I can’t have a productive weekend. That’s it from me. :)

Brother,

I agree , being a doctor it is very difficult to manage weekends. I would say that there is nothing called weekends for doctors. They strive and work for society. Sure, there is huge reward from Allah’s side for serving humanity with good intention. They are the real champions.

One of my cousin is a doctor, he keeps busy himself by conducting free camps etc etc and engaging himself more to serve humanity.

In my opinion, we aren’t able to relax and have a refreshed weekend if you’re still not up to date with anything you done in the week! For example, if you’re a student at school or college and you don’t manage to finish your homework and revision, then the truth is, the weekend becomes your catch-up days! Finishing your pressurising and stressful work and working through your to-do list should be done during the week.
One thing that helps me (I’m an A-Level student) is to complete every homework the evening that I am given them. Also, making a to-do list at the BEGINNING of each week showing the work you want to be completed by the end, and ticking them off as you go by is effective.
Don’t forget your exercise!
Treat yourself with a nice, filling, hot breakfast- you may have not digged in to one of those during the week due to time-keeping!
Have a nice, long, hot bubble bath and enjoy doing something that interests you; reading books, watching films, writing articles, or even just pampering yourself!

I used to spend weekends by watching non-stop movies. Fun at first, but at the end of the weekend, i felt like “whoa, i did nothing in this weekend”. So, lately i choose to write down my to-do-list on weekend. You must spare your time for your family, friends, and yourself of course.

Assalamualaikum to all readers.
Weekends are the time for one to spend time with one’s family. One suggestion from me personally is to wake up early together with one’s family and go to the mosque to pray Fajr. Start your day right and in sha Allah the rest of the days will be a fruitful one!
