Healthy boundaries with your employer are critical.

5. Sleeping all weekend.
A big night of drinking on Friday can derail your entire 48 hours.
Wasting your precious free time hungover gets tiring eventually.
Take a lie-in if you need it.

6. Blow out spending.
Saving $50 on expensive lunches and Starbucks is pointless.
If on the weekend you splurge and go crazy spending.
Buying junk you don't need.
While an occasional treat is fine.
Unchecked spending at weekends keeps you stuck in the debt cycle.

Reaffirm your goals, why are you working so hard?
What are you working towards?
Set aside time for clarity and thinking.

10. Stretching yourself too thin.
Perhaps worse than being lazy all weekend.
Packing too much in leaves no time for unwinding.
Your energy levels, quality of life and work will all suffer.
You must allow yourself time to rest and refresh your mind and body.
