This Is How The World’s Most Successful Women Spend The Weekends

Meghan Markle

The new Duchess does in fact, have quite a busy schedule. But that doesn’t stop her from relaxing just like a Princess with her Prince on the weekend. They start their weekends off with some exercise, they are both energetic, athletic individuals and like to share this time together while they stay healthy.

Meghan, herself is an avid runner and used to run around Kensington Gardens until she was given somewhere more private away from onlookers. Aside from this, she likes to finish with some yoga, which she has been a fan of for years. Read Meghan’s rules for success here.

“I don’t sit around thinking about my titles and roles; I just do what feels right.”

In her afternoons, you’ll probably find Meghan in some chic Soho restaurant like Bocca di Lupo either with Tanya Burr or Millie Mackintosh, whom she has made friends with since her move to the UK.

In the evenings, you’ll find the pair cuddled up on the couch in their cozy, modest two-bedroom home watching a movie, or binge-watching a movie on Netflix. Who’d have thought we’d be so similar?

Gretchen Rubin

She’s one of the world’s highly acclaimed writers, her latest book is Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives, which will show you how you can decode your habits to change them for the better.

“What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.”

And being the lady who knows how to inject happiness into her life means she certainly knows how to spend her weekends. She, herself, has designed many weekly rituals that will help you get the most out of every weekend, rather than watching it slip away quickly.

For example, every weekend will include just one Power Hour. This Power Hour is your time to focus on the tasks that are at the bottom of your to-do lists aka the ones that drag you down and never, ever get done.

But Gretchen points out that these tasks are the quickest ones to do. So, she uses her Power Hours to just get it out the way, or eat the elephant as they say. To do this yourself, Gretchen suggests to just write a list of all the tasks you want to do that have no deadline and do one each Power Hour.

Serena Williams

Serena is no stranger to hard work, in fact, she rarely slows down. There’s always something else this star can do and she’s always determined to do it. So, when it comes to what she does with her spare time can vary. Now, a mother, Serena finds herself in a position to find that ultimate balance and slow down just enough not to miss a beat.

On a weekend she has breakfast at 7 AM followed by tennis practice. Her weekend is full of high energy activities like dance classes and strength training. Late into the evening she’ll do social media and work that requires a computer, and she usually struggles to get to sleep because she has so much energy.

Tory Burch

You can say that Tory lives somewhat of a picturesque life. And she may be a businesswoman in the week, but when it comes to the weekends she rushes to the beach with her kids and soaks in every last moment.

Like Victoria, Tory will wake up early on the weekend, somewhere around 7 AM and makes sure to keep her mornings as peaceful as possible. She’s in love with the outdoors, so on the weekend she’ll keep her style simple, throw on some pieces from her Tory Sport collection and start her morning in the garden.

She describes herself as not the most talented gardener, but there’s nowhere else she’d rather be. Because she finds it very therapeutic, she will garden to arrive 11 AM until her kids rise and they run off into the ocean for a quick, refreshing dip.

“I’ve learned time management, organization and I have priorities.”

After a day spent fishing, surfing, and crabbing, Tory will spend the evening watching movies with her kids. To wind down she lights her Westerly scented candle in a jasmine, gardenia, and pink pepper blend runs her bath with rose oil and falls asleep all before midnight.
