Weekly Highlight
By Tana M. Mann Easton, Lead Efficiency Engineer
Every Friday afternoon, I look ahead at my coming week and plan what that week will look like. In those weekly planning sessions, I make sure that there is always at least one activity on my calendar that I genuinely look forward to.
I have a tearoom in town that I absolutely love. I adore packing up a little work or a book and going to the tearoom for a leisurely lunch and tea all by myself. I enjoy it so much that I make a point to go once a week to ensure I have a weekly highlight.
Other activities that might be genuine highlights are lunch with a fun friend, using a gift certificate for a favorite shopping destination, antiquing, checking out a new walking trail, taking a countryside drive, relaxing at a massage or mani/pedi, or whatever else would bring a sincere spark of joy to your life. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of time or money.
During your weekly planning time, see if you can start calendaring in a weekly highlight. Knowing something sincerely enjoyable is coming up in your week ahead can give you a bit of joy and a jolt of energy to get through any less than exciting times during the week.
