Two Types of Weekends

How do you cope with not finishing your to-do list? 

Weekends are both hallowed stretches of free time for personal work and the place where parties, picnics, and down time reign supreme. 

These two types of weekends are always in competition with each other. 

Last weekend, I had a productive weekend. This weekend was purely social. And despite everything I accomplished last weekend, I still find myself ending this weekend a bit down on myself, disappointed that I couldn’t finish all the work I’d set out to do. 

I know that I need to give myself a bit of grace, but ambition is a hard master.
