I провожу мои weekends по-разному. В некоторые weekends, I like to расслабится дома
and немного отдохнуть. I might посмотреть фильмы or TV show, почитать книгу, or just вздремнуть. В другие weekends, я люблю быть более active. Это может быть пешая or велосипедная прогулка in the park, спортивные игры with friends, or going to the тренажерный зал. I тоже like to проводить время с my family и my friends. Мы можем устроить a barbecue на заднем дворе, go out to eat at a ресторан, or просто пообщаться. В большинстве случаев, мои weekends — это смесь of relaxation, fun, and productivity, и я наслаждаюсь being able to отдохнуть от напряженной week, and провести время doing the things которыми I enjoy.

Scientists: Even a turned off phone on the table
interferes with work. The smartphone is a отвлечение, even if it is turned off, but is within sight. The experiment вовлек 2 groups: the first group had a smartphone on the desktop, and the second убрала it to an inaccessible place. Those whose phone was in sight справились с the tasks much worse. And people without a phone turned out to have high rates of внимания and memory.
