When you work a standard 40-hour, Monday-through-Friday job, weekends are precious. Two full days to relieve stress, relax, restore, and reinvigorate yourself without work pressures or time constraints.

However, many people don’t find their weekends as enjoyable or restorative as they should be because they’re often catching up on things around the house that didn’t get done during the week—cleaning, organizing, laundry, etc. But there’s a hack for that. It’s called “Thursday night.”

This tip is going to sound simple because it is. That doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly effective and potentially life-changing if you do it.
