Midweek Weekend

It turns out that I have accrued a maximum amount of vacation hours, and will stop accruing them unless I take vacation days. The fam doesn’t have any big summer trips planned this year so I’ve decided to take a day off here and there.

The kicker is that I’ve been taking Wednesdays off.

Wednesday’s?

Yea Wednesdays. It has just sort of worked out that way with my schedule, but I’m finding that it is an awesome way to break up the week. Tuesdays now become like mini Fridays. And hanging out at home on Wednesdays has A. let my kids remember who their dad is during the week, and B. allowed me to get things done that I don’t ever feel like doing on the weekends.

Extra Bonus

It also makes me super focused while at work because we have to report on our progress weekly, and I’m taking a day of productivity away from myself. Therefore, I organize the things that need to get done and do them in four days instead of five. So the next time you have a vacation day to burn, take it on a Wednesday and treat yourself to a midweek weekend. You deserve it.

What do You Think?

I’m interested to find out if anybody else thinks that taking Wednesdays off is the new taking Fridays or Mondays off? Please let me know in the comments below.
