Most of us have 2 days off a week...I know there still never seems to be enough time to do everything on your "weekends"...how do YOU manage your time on your days off? How do you get everything done, or do you just not worry about it?

when i used to work, i was allowed to have 2 days off. usually, i spend those two days with my family. i watch movies with them and discuss matters. i also find sometime for me to take a long nap for me to relax. i also try to go to shopping malls and take a look on what's new. i don't usually find time with my friends anymore, but i still manage to see them atleast once or twice a month.

i try to do all my cleaning through out the week and keep the house straightened up, so that way my weekends are just used for family time and for grocery shopping.

Time off is something that I don't see much of, but when I do get it, I catch up on things that need to be done around the house. Most of the time, since I work at home, I am up and down cooking, cleaning, and other things while I am working and studying. It's hard to get bored this way, *laugh*.

my days off are on weekends so i pretty much rest for a long time on saturdays and when i wake up i try to clean up my disastrous room. after that i will try to help with the chores at home. i like to cook so i help by cooking them a nice and tasty meal at lunch and at dinner. after that i rest and watch tv for about 2-3 hours and then since that time i think is way past 10 i try to go out and hang out with my childhood friends until midnight then go back at the house to rest for the evening. when sunday comes i try to wake up very early to make them breakfast fit for kings and queens since our family considered it family day. after my morning chores i go to computer shop to play with my friends (counterstrike is the best). im gonna get back home at lunchtime and eat together with my family. after that i will take a nap and wake up at 6. then i will ready my clothes for the next day of work at the office. watch tv for 4 hours and after that i will go to slumber.

I just can't worry about it. You need a certain amount of down time, after all.
