1. Work
What? Work on a weekend? Yes, because this time I want you to do something that doesn't necessarily relate to your present job but to your ability to do jobs in general well and with less stress.
Stroll on down to the library or your local bookstore and get your hands on one of these books or something else that's been recommended to you to help build skills you want:
– Getting Things Done by David Allen (to help with prioritizing your time)
– Don't Sweat The Small Stuff or Don't Sweat The Small Stuff At Work by Richard Carlson (to help with general stress reduction)
– Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug (to help anyone who makes or works on websites do it better)
– Wishcraft by Barbara Sher (to help with identifying what you really want to be doing)

Yay! You have time to work on a project if you want, I hope. Or you could go to the movies or take a long bath. Whatever. Enjoy!
Thanks for the “Don’t Make Me Think” recommendation, Dinah! I ordered it through Amazon marketplace, saving a few bucks off the regular price, and am awaiting delivery with bated breath.

You know, I should really repeat this “two priorities” drill every couple of months. I love it how it’s easier to do something when someone tells you to do it (even if that someone is a blogger from another continent ;)), than if you just tell yourself to do it. :))
