The Perfect Weekend

Under the headline, "The Science-Backed Schedule for Your Perfect Weekend," the Wall Street Journal cites "behavioral researchers and time-management coaches" on "the perfect weekend equation," a mix of sleep, hobbies, unplanned time, socializing, work and chores, and physical activity. Totally absent from the Journal's "perfect weekend": church or synagogue. It's a strange omission, because researchers at Harvard, Stanford, and Duke have all found regular religious service attendance is associated with better health outcomes.
