Weekend is not just to escape from the load of the week. If you have to deal with some not optional responsabilities during the week, each day you will run out of time, and commonly, you will wind up working and/or studying almost the whole day. The rest of the time you will need to meet your vital needs. Resting, eating, personal care among other things, are activities you have to do unless you are running into toxic habits because it is the only way you know to deal with such amount of pressure and stress, both resulting from a chaotic job. I consider people should keep having goals during their whole lifes, and the best moment to work on achieving them is (the? [I think here is not necessary]) weekend. Furthermore, spending time on this, should not makes you feel overwhelmed but it should makes you feel proud of yourself, because of having the willingness to take advantage of this free time despite the tiredness you have accumulated during the week. Having this habit, in the long run you might develop some skill. I would dare to say that if you do not enjoy what you do from Monday to Friday and you maintain this habit firmly, you might change the way you live, being able of getting a new job based on your new skills. So, using weekend to rest is good but it is much better if you "rest" wisely. But obviously, if you need to feel a real relief, there is not anything bad on being on the beach and recovering energy... I know some jobs sap one in excess.
