TGIF: how to kickstart your weekend

When your workweek has been a tough one, it’s difficult to find the final push to get you through the last day of the week. Sometimes, it’s just difficult to find the enthusiasm to get up and show up at work.

We totally get you—not all days are daisies and roses after all. That is why we’ve put together some advice that will help you stay inspired and get through Friday with a bang!

As motivational speaker Byron Pulsifer says, “Friday is a day to finish your goals for the week. It is a day to celebrate that which you set out to accomplish at the beginning of the week.”

There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing your projects finally coming to an end. So if you’re feeling demotivated on a Friday, just think about all the efforts you’ve put into your work and being a few steps near the finish line.

Another reminder that might help you stay focussed on a Friday and hustle hard is this quote from an Academy Award winner for Best Actress in a Leading Role, Helen Mirren.

According to her, “I have never in my life found myself in a situation where I’ve stopped work and said, “Thank God it’s Friday. But weekends are special even if your schedule is all over the place. Something tells you the weekend has arrived and you can indulge yourself a bit.”

So really, even if you feel that Friday is such a long day and you can’t wait for the week to be over, you need to grind and just get things done so that you can start some weekend fun. Remember, you might have a bad week at work but the next couple of days will make it all better again.

So yes, it’s the last day of the week to grind and work for your dreams. Excel at it!
