11 things unsuccessful people do over long weekends
People across the US will have Monday off, thanks to Labor Day.
We already know what successful people will be doing over the long weekend.
But what about the unsuccessful people among us? What mistakes can we watch out for and avoid?
After all, you don't want to have three whole days of free time go down the drain.
With that in mind, let's discuss some behaviors to avoid. Here are 11 things unsuccessful people do over three-day weekends:
1. They neglect their loved ones

"A three-day weekend lets you schedule this critical quality time," says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job."
That being said, spending a long weekend getting away from everyone isn't necessarily a bad thing.
But unsuccessful individuals don't avoid people because they're mindfully trying to unwind — they do it because something's holding them back from connecting.
2. They stress out

We all need to rest and recharge our batteries from time to time. Unsuccessful people are unable to do this, even over three-day weekends. This leads to misery during a time that should be filled with relaxation and happiness.
3. They spend a ton of money (needlessly)

You don't want to blow all your cash over the course of three days!
Unsuccessful people don't know how to control themselves over long weekends and end up with empty wallets as a result. Squeezing too many impulse purchases into such a short amount of time is a really bad idea.
If you're looking to have a ton of fun on a budget, consider a staycation or just carefully budgeting your fun in the sun.
