		<description><![CDATA[Life goes by fast.  And based on the huge response to the recent articles about doing what matters (and doing it before it&#8217;s too late), it&#8217;s clear that the pace of life can easily run you ragged.  And when I announced my weekend challenge on Twitter a few weeks ago, I received no shortage of responses.
So now I&#8217;m bringing the challenge to all my readers here.
How To Rock Your Weekend In Just 60 Minutes
You have 48 beautiful hours awaiting you (72 if you&#8217;re taking a Memorial Day weekend in the States), and here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m challenging you to do:

Spend 30 minutes each day of your weekend doing something you&#8217;ve been putting off (but that would really add value to your life and make you happier). 

That&#8217;s it.  But when I say &#8220;something you&#8217;re putting off,&#8221; I&#8217;m not talking chores, or around-the-house projects, or things that you feel that you have <a href="http://www.rockyourday.com/rock-your-weekend-60-minutes-that-really-matter/">Read the Rest...</a>]]></description>

<p>So now I&#8217;m bringing the challenge to all my readers here.</p>
<h3>How To Rock Your Weekend In Just 60 Minutes</h3>
<p>You have 48 beautiful hours awaiting you (72 if you&#8217;re taking a Memorial Day weekend in the States), and here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m challenging you to do:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Spend 30 minutes each day of your weekend doing something you&#8217;ve been putting off (but that would really add value to your life and make you happier). </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s it.  But when I say &#8220;something you&#8217;re putting off,&#8221; I&#8217;m not talking chores, or around-the-house projects, or things that you feel that you <em>have</em> to do.  I&#8217;m talking about the things that add meaning to your life that have fallen on the back burner because you&#8217;re so damned busy.</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s picking up that guitar for a few minutes and dusting it off.  Maybe it&#8217;s wrestling with your kids or enjoying some quality Lego time.  Maybe it&#8217;s reading a book, or soaking in the tub, or taking a walk in the woods.  Whatever it is, make it something that&#8217;s meaningful.  Something that takes you away from the stress of your week, lets you live a little bit, and lets you enter the next week without feeling like life&#8217;s getting away from you. <span class="pullquote"><strong>Don&#8217;t wait until life slows down to enjoy it.  Enjoy it now.</strong></span></p>
<h3>The Benefits of Rocking Your Weekend</h3>
<p>Rocking your weekend with this 2x 30-minute a day challenge has it&#8217;s benefits.</p>
<ul>
<li>You&#8217;ll feel hella good at finally doing something enjoyable you&#8217;ve been putting off.</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll start to see that it&#8217;s not so hard after all to fit in time for yourself and others.</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll feel the urge to make this a habit.</li>
</ul>
<p>Imagine that &#8211; breaking away from the feeling that life&#8217;s too busy and realizing that <a title="Time Management - Getting Balanced and Keeping The Balance" href="http://www.rockyourday.com/how-to-start-getting-balanced-when-youre-too-damned-busy/" target="_self">getting balanced even when you&#8217;re busy</a> isn&#8217;t an impossible task.  It&#8217;s within your grasp if you&#8217;re willing to be patient.</p>
<h3>How To Rock Your Weekend Right Now</h3>
<p>Thinking &#8220;I should do this&#8221; isn&#8217;t enough &#8211; you need to take a little bit of action before Friday is over to prime the pump for some weekend follow-through.  So here&#8217;s what I suggest you do to max out your chances of making this a weekend that truly rocks:</p>

<li><strong>Spread the word </strong>via some link love, tweets, or Stumbles</li>

</ul>
