Here are 10 tips for making the most of your days off:

1. Do make a plan. We’re all busy. When we hit the weekend, we think we want to do “nothing.” But it’s impossible to truly do nothing. Instead, you’ll do unconsciously chosen somethings, and you’ll hit Sunday wondering where the time…

• Our brains will extend to the cloud, which will allow us to learn new things at any age.
• We will be able to selectively erase pieces of our memory.
• We’ll be in augmented reality at all times.
• By 2029, machines will be able to match the intelligence of humans, and they’ll be able to make us laugh and cry.
• Around the 2030s, tiny “nanobots” able to repair and preserve our organs will keep us healthier and smarter.
• 3D printing will be even more common than it is today, with public 3D printing stations for people to print out clothes, toys, and anything else.
• Within 25 years, computers will be the size of a blood cell and we’ll be able to connect it to the brain without the need for surgery.
• Society will reach a state of “technological singularity” in 2045 where technology enables superhuman machine intelligences to emerge and people and machines become deeply integrated.

• A brand’s post on Facebook will see half of its reach in the 30 minutes after it’s published.
• The first 10 minutes in a post’s life might be even more key, with one-third of the post’s total reach seen in this short time frame.
• Half of RTs occur in 18 minutes or less from the time the tweet is originally posted.
• More followers generally means a longer tweet life, and tweeting more often means a shorter life for each one sent.
• In a recent study of almost 3 million tweets, about 15% of tweets that contained links got more RTs than clicks of the link, meaning that there are lots of people who RT without reading.
