GIVE THE WEEKEND A SHAPE
A weekend challenge adds a little structure without taking over both days. These ideas are designed to be started quickly and completed before the new week begins.
CHALLENGES TO START WITH
12 challenges for this weekend
Some take a few short sessions; others give you a theme to return to across Saturday and Sunday. Choose one that fits around the plans you already have.
