For those who work the typical 40 hour week, if you had a 3 day weekend, what would you do with the extra time?

1. Begin the have a clean house, plant a garden, work on mental and physical health.

2. Read more. I work 5 days a week now but I used to work three 12 hour shifts and I just stayed in and read on my days off. I would rather have one of the days during the week off, so I could run errands easier.

3. All the things I didn’t get done in the 2 day weekend.

4. I want a 3 day weekend so I can have 1 day to do chores, 1 day to do social stuff, and 1 day to do absolutely nothing. These days I end up doing 2 of the 3 – it would be great if I could have all 3 every weekend.

5. I have a 3 and a half day weekend and it’s awesome. I travel, clean, work out, okay video games, etc.

   Not working 5 days a week does wonders for your mental health.

6. Probably exactly what I already do (essentially nothing), just more of that

7. Sleep.

8. Have a day to just rest. My Saturday and Sunday are often filled with chores and obligations so any time I do get a 3 day weekend due to a holiday, one of the days is spent purely for rest and enjoyment.

9. I used to work four 10-hour days and have a 3 day weekend. It was ok at first, but I would definitely not recommend it for a job that’s physically demanding. I literally spent the first day off sleeping, so in reality it was more like a 2 day weekend instead of 3. I’ll stick with the 5 8’s that I got now.

10. Catch up on laundry, organizing, deep cleaning that I never get to in the week.

11. Run errands, schedule doctor’s appointments, do my hobbies, enjoy time outdoors, go on little weekend trips, clean the house, work out, take a class, read, watch TV

12. This may be the most American response ever, but work overtime.

13. Write more, take more walks, play more video games, do more chores and stuff around the house, spend more time hanging out in coffee shops/cafes.

14. Day 1 : Clean, house shores

    Day 2 : rest

    Day 3 : a day trip to a different city

    Might not be in that order though.
