1. THE PRINCIPLE OF NOVELTY AND ROUTINE

Our brain perceives time differently depending on what we do. Weekdays often consist of the routine of getting up, working, going home. The same actions create the effect of "slow time", because our brain seems to "record" less information. Weekends, on the contrary, are filled with pleasant moments, meetings, entertainment all this makes time fly.

2. EMOTIONS AND SUBJECTIVE PERCEPTION

If a day is filled with vivid emotions, it seems shorter.

3. THE PARADOX OF EXPECTATION

Another reason is the psychological effect of expectation. When we wait for the weekend, we stretch it out in our imagination, creating the
feeling that it will be longer.

4. WEEKEND DEFICIT

If we had more weekends, perhaps we would perceive them differently. But because there are only two of them and five working days, any break seems short and unfair.

HOW TO MAKE THE WEEKEND LONGER?

❌Plan new activities, this will create more memories and “stretch” the sense of time.

❌Spend less time on social networks, because then you can wake up on Monday without realizing where the two days disappeared to.

❌Add more surprises, even a simple walk in a new place can make the weekend more eventful.
