Saturdays used to be my favourite day of the week. It was THE day I look forward to after a week of being productive. It is the very day I get to sleep in a little longer, wake up a little later. I did not need to worry about looking at my watch and that I should be out of the door by a certain time and a whole bunch of other things. It has always been that one day of the week that I get to free my mind and give myself permission to do absolutely nothing.
I normally try to sign up for classes on weekday nights as much as possible. That way, my weekends will be free and plan-less, just the way I like it. Sometimes I have to get up and not be able to do what I have been looking forward to do the whole week. This means, I can’t continue my sleep after fair prayers and that I am needed to get a bunch of things done unexpectedly. When this happens, I am probably worse than Grumpy the dwarf. UUrrgghhhh.
However, once I am over the grumpiness, I am back to normal. When whatever that is needed to be done is settled, I realised I am overwhelmed with energy and nothing to do. Then I got frustrated that I have no plans, nothing, nil. Another uuurrrggghhhh moment. Suddenly I need to plan something, or rather anything so as not to waste this wave of energy that has unexpectedly engulfed me.
This is where I start to create some plans and go with the flow. for the rest of the day. These days, I realised I am spending a bit more time than the past to jot down pieces of my life in Naimefied. I note down pieces of happiness to remind myself how blessed I really am and I should be thankful for what I am presented with.
Saturday is still my favourite day of the week. Somehow, it has moved to become productive weekend as well. Now, my Saturday mornings are (still) spent without plans, but I am being open to slot some last minute plans in when I least expect it and not be annoyed by the hiccup in my ‘no-plans’ Saturday plan. I welcome this and try to be positive with whatever comes my way. I now constantly have my laptop, my notepad or a good book within reach to keep myself occupied with ideas and inspirations to amuse myself. I found myself to be more productive this way even during the weekends. A positive change for myself indeed.
And now, back to my ‘No Plans’ Saturday.
