Today being a Saturday, most people are planning on how to unwind, but have you ever wondered how some of the most successful people do it?

You find that more and more career women are giving up their social life due to their busy life; these women have to jungle between their careers and their families.

Take a look at how some of these very successful women do it from a recent interview with Nation’s Saturday Magazine.

Dorothy Ghettuba
She is the co-Founder, CEO and executive producer, Spielworks Media says that she has learnt of a way to take time for her busy schedule so as to have her ‘me time’.

“My time is early in the morning when most of the world is asleep. I set aside two hours for myself, between 4 and 6am, before the daily distractions take over. I read, I think, I write, I meditate and I pray.” She tells Nations Saturday magazine.

She adds that, “Until recently, I had no social life so I stopped working weekends. I take time out for a good read, travelling, watching movies, hanging out with friends and having a hearty laugh. I surround myself with positive people who edify my life,” She continues to tell Saturday magazine.

Agnes Zani
She is of the essence that sometimes sitting and chatting with friends is all a person needs to relax.

Senator (Dr) Agnes Zani is a nominated senator. She is also a scholar, a career educationist and before her nomination to the senate, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi’s Sociology department.

”I socialize with relatives and friends when I am not working. I like going to weddings or to just sit and chat,” Ms Zani says

Joanne Mwangi
And did you know that one can actually invest on how they want to spend their free time in the future?

Joanne Mwangi is the founder and CEO of Professional Marketing Services Group. (PMS GROUP) She is a marketing giant with over 20 years of experience.

She confesses that, “During my start up, I invested years and years of working 16 to 18 hours daily. Now it is easy as I have systems and structures that work, my team members are competent, and they can deliver whether I am present or not. I love music, dancing, taking walks and rigorous hikes to clear my mind and enjoy nature.

On Sunday’s I attend, the 9am mass and spend the rest of the day doing fun things with my family, especially with my youngest son, as the other two are now adults,” Ms Mwangi tells Saturday Magazine.

Dorothy Ooko
For some of these women they don’t need to go out to fill the social void. They feel ok to sit at home and reflect and work on their fitness regime.

Dorothy Ooko is the communications and public affairs manager for East & Francophone Africa at Google. She is also a social techie.

“Quiet time with God is how I soul search. I read the Bible or listen to the Daily Audio Bible app and pray when I am driving. I also go to the gym religiously where I run, weight lift and dance rhumba,” Dorothy tells Saturday Magazine.
