(Just step away from the work)

In most cultures which have a seven-day week, either Saturday or Sunday is the traditional day of rest.

The American concept of the weekend has its roots in labor union attempts to accommodate Jewish workers who took Saturday instead of Sunday as their Sabbath.[1] The first five-day work week was instituted by a New England cotton mill for this reason.

In 1926 Henry Ford began shutting down his automotive factories for all of Saturday and Sunday.

In 1929 the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America was the first union to demand a five-day work week and receive it. After that, the rest of the United States slowly followed suit, but it wasn’t until 1940 that the two-day weekend began nationwide.

So create your “ME TIME” this weekend. Didn’t you work for it all week long?

• Turn off technology.
• Be present in the moment.
• Take some time with family/friends.
• Do something fun and spontaneous.

Do you live to work or work to live? Life is way to short to work 24/7/365.

Cheers to you and some well deserved time off. I challenge you to step away and have some fun!!
