Like - The Midweek Hang

The weekend is a trap. Don’t get me wrong, I love it and it’s great. But the weekend can lull you into a sense of complacency. It can act as a subconscious trap to keep you from doing things during the week. By framing itself as the weekend it reinforces the notion that the week is something to be busy during. Mostly that’s being busy with work, recharging to go back to work the next day, and taking care of the regular life work of laundry, tidying, etc... What a shame, in no small part because one of the best ways to recharge is to hang out with your friends. Maybe you go get a drink, have them over for dinner, meet for a movie, play some games, do a book club, or whatever you like to do with your friends. The midweek hang is a wonderful thing. Hanging out shouldn’t need a reservation; only some light coordination. A simple “wussup” or a “What are you doing tonight?” should be more than enough. That way you don’t have to wait for the weekend.
