Missing the 3 day weekends?
"You can make your weekends feel longer if you try something that you've never done before" - David Eagleman, neuroscientist & professor at Standford University.
Taking up a new hobby or trying something new can trick your brain into thinking that the days are longer. Remember when you were a kid and summers used to last forever, that's because you're laying down new memories and you're learning and experiencing constantly.
That's why weekends away always seem so much longer - because they're jam-packed with new experiences.
Weekends fly by when you don't experience new things. So don't wake up on Monday morning with the pang of guilt that you've wasted your weekend and hoping for one more day.
It doesn't need to be extreme, even small things like venturing to a part of London you've never been to, trying a new food, challenging yourself with a new gym class, catching up with an old friend you haven't seen for a while or even cooking a new dish.
You'll fight off the Monday morning blues as you’ll look back on an action-packed weekend spent doing all kinds of new things and it’ll feel like it lasted longer.
Let us know what new things you're trying out this weekend.
