Balancing Manager’s Weekend Routine

Written By OLUBOX, LLC

Here's how a manager’s weekend routine can powerfully impact their weekday leadership effectiveness:

Using the 5P Framework — Purpose, Problem, Prognosis, Plan, and Performance.

Purpose – Realign with Why You Lead

Weekends offer space to reconnect with your deeper “why.” Reflecting on your values, goals, and mission helps you return to work with greater clarity and motivation.

Weekend Purpose Practice: Journaling, nature walks, or reading leadership books can reignite your drive to lead meaningfully.

2. Problem – Identify Barriers Before Monday Hits

Unstructured downtime can reveal issues clouded by weekday busyness—like stress, lack of direction, or burnout.

Weekend Problem Practice: Self-reflection or discussing challenges with a coach or peer can uncover emotional or strategic blocks.

3. Prognosis – Understand the Impact of Neglect

Skipping rest, clarity, or planning during the weekend can lead to poor decisions, team tension, and fatigue.

Prognosis Insight: A depleted manager often reacts instead of leads, undermining trust and effectiveness.

4. Plan – Set Yourself Up for a Strong Start

Use part of your weekend to map your priorities, align with your team’s needs, and mentally prep for key conversations.

Weekend Planning Tip: 30 minutes on Sunday to review your calendar and leadership intentions = powerful Monday momentum.

5. Performance – Show Up Energized & Engaged

The right weekend routine boosts your energy, mood, and focus. You lead with calm authority, empathy, and strategic clarity.

Performance Payoff: Teams mirror your energy. A recharged manager fosters a high-performing, resilient team.
