A barber I used to go to told me that he makes it a point to do nothing every Sunday. ( By nothing I mean only pleasurable activities, no appointments/chores)

His logic was, if I spend every Sunday as a holiday, that will be 52 days of mini holidays I get every year.

Since then, I have taken on his advice. I try to spend every Sunday doing nothing. My version of nothing is geeking on fun projects, relaxing and binge watching TV shows I enjoy.

I've noticed that it allows my brain space to piece together all the information I read/gather during the week. The ideas and discrete information to solidify.

I find myself more relaxed and productive during the week.

It's not always possible to take sundays 100% off, but I try.

It's tempting to do chores, or schedule that appointment, but if I can push it off to the following week or schedule it before Sunday, I find my life feels more fuller, richer and more enjoyable.
