Saturdays are important because this is the only day that you get to unplug from the long work week. It is on Saturday when you get to break your regular routines, and you run the day the way that you want.
However, here is the thing- if your Saturdays are not well planned in advance, they could change from being very enjoyable into something disappointing or boring.
So you need ideas, and once you have a few, you can start spreading them around the upcoming Saturdays. The key point is that you have to plan in advance on what you will do every Saturday – do this before Saturday arrives!
This way, you will not end up wasting time doing random things like spending money on spontaneous shopping because you got bored.
Interesting Productive Things To Do On Saturday
Getting ideas on how to be productive on a Saturday can be a challenge. Have this in mind as much as you may want so you can relax in your spare time.
It is equally important to do things that will help you to succeed in life with your extra time, as time waits for no one. So, when choosing ideas on what to do on Saturday, please be wise.
Plan your meals ahead.
If there a good day to plan what meals you will have next week, then Saturday is the day! However, the thing with meal planning is that it’s not for everyone.
So, if you are one of those people who feel like planning meals is too much work.
You could consider using services like $5 Meal Plan or HelloFresh. They do all the work for you.
- For $5 per month, they suggest meals and recipes, and they even send it over with a grocery list of all the items you will need. Do you want to see how they do it? Here is a 14 day trial of $5 Meal Plan.
- Alternatively, you can try HelloFresh they provide menus for you to choose from, and then deliver fresh groceries right to your doorstep with a delicious recipe to follow. There are many menu options, from vegetarian to gluten-free. It’s entirely up to you and what floats your boat.
So you can use this time to either plan your meals or have them planned for you.
Even though it’s a Saturday, this is also a good time to,
Find ways to improve your finances.
For instance, you could look into doing some simple tasks you while getting paid to do them! Here are some examples of how you can make some extra income during your free time.
Clean out your purse.
It’s crazy how much stuff can accumulate in our purses! Before you start each week, clean up all the mess in your purse. Get things in order.
Start removing all your old receipts, find a home for all the jingling loose change (hint,) this is a great time to add to your piggy bank!
Do whatever you need to do in order to make your purse sparkling clean and ready for the week ahead!
Declutter one room for an hour every Saturday.
There is always clutter somewhere, and the best way to avoid it from piling up is doing a bit at a time. Little can go a long way! Start with the room that you use the most. Is it your bedroom? Start with your clothes and shoes.
Take a look at what you don’t wear anymore and sell them to Thredup, eBay or you could even donate them. Or maybe it’s time to tidy up the living room?
Where you might still have old DVDs (or even VHS!), you no longer need or can use. In fact, some of your old unwanted DVDs can be turned into money instantly.
With websites like MusicMagpie (UK) or Declutrr, you can sell your items instead of recycling. All you need to do is create a list and ship for free. Next, all you have to do is wait for the check to come in!
So the key point is decluttering one room at a time, for one hour every Saturday.

This is the one day that you really need do have affirmations or inspirational, positive talks about listening to as you do other things.
Especially now that it is on a Saturday, and you’re just at home and not planning to go somewhere, take advantage of that time and let you be filled up with positivity as you get ready for next week.
