Act like a tourist: Google “What to do in (fill in your city here)” or pick up an area magazine. These may be geared towards visitors, but they can help you fill in your calendar. You are sure to find a number of events, museums, and attractions. If there are surrounding cities that are easily accessible search for those too.
Save a weekend: It is tempting to postpone scheduling anything that could be done any weekend. Why go on that tour now when you could do it later or go to a baseball game when the season isn’t over yet? But this is what you must do to avoid staying in the rut. Do your grocery shopping and pick up the dry cleaning Friday night so Saturday can be spent guiltlessly exploring.
Take it all in: This weekend I followed my own advice. I admit I didn’t have the greatest expectations but I was pleasantly surprised! We visited a historical home and a new bar and I would be happy to visit both again. You can learn to love the place you’re in only if you’re willing to exert some effort.
