If you’re tired of passive, overwhelming weekends and want to ditch the Monday dread, this read offers the clarity and structure you need to truly recharge and start living with intention.
It's not about perfection, but awareness, making it a sustainable life changer.
by Dr. Joe Masterson
“Own Your Weekend” is such a refreshing and practical guide for anyone who feels their weekends slip away without rest or joy. I used to spend Saturdays catching up on chores and Sundays worrying about Monday—but this book helped me change that pattern. I started applying small steps from Dr. Tila Kay’s suggestions to my daily life, like standing on one leg while brushing my teeth, texting one person “Thinking of you today,” and asking my child, “What made you laugh today?” (I even ask myself the same question now.)
What I love most is how simple yet powerful these micro habits are. The statement “Consistency beats intensity” really stayed with me—it reminded me that small, steady actions matter more than big, short bursts of effort. The book also taught me to treat the weekend as a time for an intentional reset rather than just recovery. I especially liked the “Friday Night Lights Off Ritual,” which helps me mentally close the week and prepare for real rest.
