Introduction
People make daily schedules to plan their time well. Having a daily schedule often helps with productivity. Today’s debate question is whether daily schedules should be limited only to the weekdays. Some people believe that our weekends should be less planned. Let’s see what our debaters have to say.




Constructive Debater 1 Henry
Schedules are only for Monday through Friday. It is good to have daily schedules during the week. They help you complete all your responsibilities. They also make sure that you do not waste time. But we should only have daily schedules during the weekdays. Weekends are our time to spend with family or friends, do fun activities, and relax. We should not worry about sticking to a schedule.





Constructive Debater 2 Ashley
Daily schedules are not only for weekdays. We should have daily schedules for every day of the week. Just because it is the weekend does not mean that we should be unproductive. Many people waste their whole weekend doing nothing because they do not have a schedule. Also, most people sleep in on the weekends. Research shows that sleeping late on the weekends makes people feel more tired.




Rebuttal Debater 1 Henry
We should be able to do whatever we want on the weekends. If we decide one weekend morning that we just want to rest all day, then we should be able to do that. If we want to spend all day at the park with our dog, then we should use our weekend time to do so. Weekends should be more spontaneous. Life would be boring and tiring if we followed a schedule every day.




Rebuttal Debater 2 Ashley
Just because you have a schedule for the weekend does not mean that you cannot have fun! You can schedule time to do anything you want to do. The point of a daily schedule is that you do not waste time. For example, my weekend schedule includes waking up at 8 a.m., spending time with my family, going to the movies with my friends, and then reading before I go to sleep.




Judge’s Comments
Henry is the winner. Ashley reasoned that we should have daily schedules every day because people sleep in on the weekends. However, this assumes that having a daily schedule would change the fact that people sleep in on the weekends. It also assumes that sleeping in on the weekends is a waste of time.
