Plan for Weekends Before They Happen

Most busy professionals do well Monday to Thursday and lose structure on weekends. Decide your restaurant strategy, hydration target, and protein anchors before Friday arrives.

The goal is not to avoid social meals. The goal is to keep enough rhythm that one relaxed meal does not become three chaotic days.
