Off days need to be spent with care so that it could add some value to our life and this can be done by using the off days to do something that would be of benefit to us.

Saturdays and Sundays are always off days for me and actually in the early days I was really confused at how to spend the off days efficiently. I used to waste my off days without doing anything valuable and the only thing I did was to sleep, eat and watch TV. But later on I came to note that I was wasting a considerable amount of my time for no cause.

This feeling came to creep as a great regret to me as I used to spend a lot of my off days without doing anything valuable and finally I decided to do something valuable so that I do not regret on the time lost.
