Q: The happiest people do this on the weekends. What is it?
A: Treat it like a vacation.
In a study of 400 working people. On a Friday, she told some of the group to treat the time like a vacation and told the others to spend it like they would any other weekend. When measuring their happiness afterwards, she found that those with a vacation mindset showed more satisfaction and positivity when they returned to work.
The vacationers were “doing less housework and work for their jobs, staying in bed a little longer with their partner, and eating a bit more,” she wrote for Harvard Business Review in 2019. But the real differentiating factor was that they were “more mindful of and attentive to the present moment throughout their weekend’s activities.”
