You don't need to leave town to think about your days of rest in a way that sends you back to work on Monday a happier person, our columnist writes
Illustration: Carole Hénaff By Sue Shellenbarger March 26, 2019 9:26 a.m. ET There’s a reason most people return to work Monday feeling no better than they did Friday afternoon.
This doesn’t always require changing your normal weekend routine. It may mean just thinking about and prioritizing activities differently. Interviews with a dozen people who consciously cultivate mindfulness on the weekend offer insights into the time-management and planning skills they employ. La’Wana Harris of Wake Forest, N.C., reserves time on weekends to play in her backyard with her 4-year-old grandson, Jaden Harris.

Of course, few people can avoid chores every weekend. Dr. Mogilner Holmes of UCLA says embracing a vacation mind-set every weekend wouldn’t work anyway, because it would become just another routine. Her daughters often play dress-up, perform a play for her and her husband or make up games. “I love to just turn music on and be silly and dance,” Ms. Katzman says. “I try to spend the weekend laughing.”
Still, preoccupation with work is hard to shake. Some three out of five adults can’t keep their minds off work even when they’re doing something else, according to a 2017 survey of 1,000 adults.
