Working Around Your Job and Keeping Your Social Life

If you are in high school then you know how important it is to stay busy on the weekends. This is because of the fact that many people tend to judge you based on exactly what you have done from Friday to Sunday and if you would like others to think of you as productive or popular then you will need to make plans in order to get these people to perceive you in this way. However, if you would like to be thought of in this way then the days at the end of your week will actually have to fill your weekends up so that you are busy. This can be a very simple task if you put any effort into it and I have found the following techniques work the best for me:

If you have a job and you want to appear as if you are always bogged down in work then you can try asking for some overtime. This will make your co workers believe that you are always working and they will admire your worth ethic. You can leave some of the work which is due during the week until the last few days so that you are busy with work on these days and have no more time to do anything else. This will make you look as if you are working very hard when you are really working the same amount over a longer period of time.

Park your car at your job when you are not working there because this will make people think that you are busy in your office. If they do not check then it will appear to them as if you never stop working and those in charge will put you in line for a promotion.

If you do not have a job and you are a student looking for something to do during the weekend then you should make a lot of plans with friends on Thursday. What you will need to do is tell each of your friends that you want to do something with them on one of those three days. Make plans with each of them on one of those days so that you have multiple plans on each day. Some of them will fall through but you will have made enough plans so that you always have someone to go out with. This is something I do all the time and I have managed to stay busy for a year so far.
