Make Some Time To Read
‘The Weekend Effect’
a list. Think: you can actually visit
with real people, in-person. You
could volunteer more, read more,
attend more church, or go for more
walks.
In short, you can stop and learn
to do less.
What would you do with two
unencumbered days? Imagine the
possibilities, and then read “The
Weekend Effect.”
While it might seem that few people need convincing when it comes
to taking time off, author Katrina
Onstad shows, in her first pages,
why some people feel trapped into
working more. Readers might see
themselves in some of Onstad’s
short profiles — we obviously have
compatriots in our drivenness — as
we learn why a “cult of overwork” is
detrimental to both individual and
to a business. Yes, we can brag, but
it’s unsustainable and we’re hurting
ourselves, as it turns out.
Once you have the ammo needed
to try to make change, Onstad offers
things that might now take up that
newly-gotten free-time. There’s a
surprise in that: whatever you think
you like to do on your weekends,
you could be doing it all wrong.
This book is eye-opening, but it
may also tell you something you already know: you work too hard. For
confirmation, though, or for further
reasons why you need to shut off
your phone and find a hammock,
“The Weekend Effect” has that all
zipped up.
“The Weekend Effect” by Katrina
Onstad; © 2017, HarperOne; 304 pages

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER
Zzzzzzzzzip.
That was the sound of your last
weekend as it passed by, but it
probably doesn’t matter anyhow: it
was packed with work, To-Dos and
obligations, kid’s sports, and more
work. Sometimes, you wonder why
you even bother. You might as well
just go to the office — but first, read
“The Weekend Effect” by Katrina
Onstad before you zip out Friday
afternoon.
When was the last time you had
two full days without plans?
If you’re like most working adults,
answering may take you a few minutes. Chances are, it’s been awhile;
like millions of North American
employees, our weekend is “not a
weekend at all.”
Much like the seven-day week,
weekends are manmade things:
Ancient civilizations created our
modern week, the Old Testament
demarked a day of rest and employers tried forcing workers to toil most
of both. In 1791, U.S. carpenters held
the first strike over hours; the eighthour day started to take hold in the
late 1800s; Henry Ford introduced
a five-day workweek in 1926; and
generally, there we were until the
digital age, when employees could
— and do — carry work with them
everywhere.
Considering that 15th-century
serfs enjoyed a holiday-filled church
calendar, says Onstad, you may
work more now than did a medieval
peasant.
That’s not good for mind or
body, and employers are starting to
recognize that. Known for obsessively-focused marathon workweeks,
Silicon Valley may taketh away, but
it also giveth: some high-tech startups offer employees flex-time and
demand down-time. Your boss may
welcome happier employees who
aren’t so stressed. Four-day workweeks aren’t rare anymore, nor are
half-day Fridays.
And yet, Onstad says, if someone
asked you what you’d do with free
weekends, you might struggle with
Auctions, Entertainment, Baby Goods,
Furniture, Toys, Antiques, Electronics, Cars,
Homes For Sale/Rent and MORE!!!
