Most of us have a complicated relationship with weekends.
Especially if it’s a long weekend.
Do you rest? Do you party? Do you — God forbid — work?
Anyhoo… by understanding how someone spends their long weekend, you will understand how they value certain activities over others. It’s truly an underrated conversation topic.
Here are a few questions I’d ask:
Small talk
- Any plans this long weekend? // Doing anything this long weekend?
- What would you like to do this long weekend?
- What’re you looking forward to this long weekend?
- Catching up on sleep this long weekend? (lord knows how sleep-deprived modern humanity is…)
Deeper questions
- What would be an ideal long weekend for you?
- Should a long weekend be productive or relaxing?
- Is it ever OK to work on a long weekend – why or why not?
- If you did absolutely nothing this long weekend, how would you feel?
- If you had no obligations/errands this long weekend, what would you do?
- What have you been meaning to do on a long weekend but never got to?
- What would be an absolutely irresponsible but fun way to spend your long weekend?
