Give your long weekend the love it deserves.

Long weekends have feelings too. And a neglected long weekend is not something you want to deal with. Long weekends deserve to be treated right. To be given the love they deserve. In return, they'll give you so much... Here are 3 tips on making the most of your long weekend so you can enjoy every bit of these awesome bonuses in the middle of your work year...

1. Time is more precious than money

Making the most of your long weekend is not about the amount of money you spend. Long weekends are there for a reason, and the reason is so you can RELAX. If you're stressing about the money you're spending while 'relaxing', you're actually not relaxing at all. Plan activities that are within your budget. Instead of going to a fancy restaurant, what about cooking that long, lazy meal you don't normally have time for? You can check out these great specials if you're planning on stocking up on your ingredients. Or why not try some of these easy-peasy recipes?

2. Failing to plan is planning to fail

Sure, there's something to be said for being spontaneous and leaving everything up to chance. But being left high and dry while everyone else made plans is no fun at all. Decide how you want to spend your long weekend. Want to go on a road trip? Then plan ahead (and check which OK store you can stop at to grab a snack or buy groceries). Want to stay home and read a good book or catch up on those films you've always wanted to watch? Then make a list and be sure to make time for it, so that the weekend doesn't speed by in a blur while you scroll past whatever pops into your Instagram feed or happens to be on television.

3. It's YOUR long weekend

That's right — yours. Nobody else's. So, if you're one of those people who always put other people's needs first, take a long weekend and make it all about you and the things YOU enjoy, instead of doing what other people expect you to do. Listen to your body and to what your heart tells you. You'll come back refreshed and more in touch with yourself, which will make you all the more productive and pleasant to be around once the long weekend is over. So go on, give your long weekend the love it deserves and make it count.
