Thanks for clarifying more on this topic. I have done a good job not scheduling appointments for Friday, but I DO still leave lots of “catch up” things specifically for Friday so it was still already “spoken for” and didn’t give me that feeling of time richness that I was looking for. Now I see I need to do a better job being wrapped up by Thursday so Friday is truly more of a buffer. Thank you!!
Love this advice, especially if you can keep Friday as a day for thinking and planning and trying new things or ambitious new projects! If it feels like a "bonus" workday, that can change how you use the time in interesting ways.
I started doing something similar recently where I try to keep all my client touchpoints on Tues-Thurs so Mondays and Fridays are my preparation/wrap up/admin days. I’m still working on getting used to it, but it has freed my schedule up some at the beginning and end of the week.
I worked from home for 7 years and this was a definite must. Now that I’m in a traditional office job, it’s more difficult but still a worthwhile aim.
