Friday is the wind-down day. The work slows down, the energy dips and it’s as if everyone’s just waiting for the weekend.
But, and it’s a big but: Friday is 20% of
your week. If you write off Fridays, you’re giving up one-fifth of your productivity - a whole day, every week, time you’ll never get back.
But what if Friday wasn’t a write-off or a slowdown and instead
it was a fire-up and a strong finish?
Instead of winding
down, let’s fire up Fridays and end the week on a high.
Here’s how to turn your Fri-neigh into Fri-yay!
Take a few minutes to look back on your week. What went well? What did you accomplish? What could have been
better?
A quick review helps you end the week with a sense of progress and sets you up for Monday.
Organise Your
Workspace
Spend a few minutes tidying your desk or clearing digital clutter. A quick refresh of your workspace on Friday makes Monday easier and gives you a sense of accomplishment to close the week.
Reach-Out
Take advantage of Fridays to reach out to a colleague, client, or connection you haven’t spoken with in a while. Because it’s a low-pressure, feel-good task to wrap up the week, it’s an easy way to
maintain relationships and set up future opportunities.
Tackle Your Finisher’s List
Save a few quick, actionable tasks for Friday. Maybe it’s clearing out your inbox, wrapping up small tasks or checking in with your
team.
It doesn’t have to be big - just a few easy wins that let you finish strong.
Test this for the rest of the year. With seven Fridays left in 2024 (only six until Christmas), you have seven chances to reclaim your
Fri-time.
