They are four of Australia's most successful women and their lives are built on making the most of each and every moment.
Which means for Roxy Jacenko, Jessica Sepel, and beauty moguls Carly Pountney and Cassie Sanghiv weekend routines are just as important for boosting their success as their workday habits.
Here, FEMAIL asks the four just what they do during their precious 48 hours off, including whether they prioritise planning and how much rest they need to be fully re-charged come a busy Monday.
We also take a sneak peek into just what each woman's ultimate weekend looks like.

Sydney-based Roxy Jacenko is one of the hardest working women in public relations.
Not only does she head up her own company Sweaty Betty PR alongside running a talent agency, the 38-year-old also manages Pixie's Bows - a business selling hair accessories fronted by her young daughter Pixie.
So when the weekend hits, you'd expect the pint-sized powerhouse to factor in some downtime in order to regroup after a busy and hectic week.
But as she tells FEMAIL, this couldn't be further from the truth.

'Gone are the days of sleeping in, what a luxury that would be. Between being up for the kids and the dog (who likes to eat anything and everything) I'm generally up by 6.20am Monday through Sunday!,' she said.
And while a typical workday might see her scheduled to within an inch of her life, this isn't something she carries over during her two days off.
Instead, Roxy revealed she prefers to 'wing it' - an approach she takes regardless of the situation.
'I have always been a wing it type of person, no matter what I am doing. Be it a seminar, an event an appearance or a new business meeting,' she said.

Although Roxy maintains exercise is important, this isn't something she prioritises during her weekend.
Rather because she has limited time she will fit this in on a weekday before she hits the office.
The mother-of-two (her daughter Pixie is six and her son Hunter is three) said, for the most part, her weekends are dedicated to spending time with her kids and husband Oliver.
'We spend a stack of time in and around Bondi with Pixie and Hunter enjoying the local parks and the beach,' she said.
'And when the weather is miserable we can spend hours playing with Reading Eggs together or building Lego and making slime!'.

While she takes a loose approach to structuring her time, Roxy revealed she never takes her hands off the wheel and will use her Sundays to ensure she is organised for the week.
'I have a bag which I call my homework bag which I fill with tasks for the week for my team,' she said.
She said as an entrepreneur she's never really able to switch off but the key is to remain flexible while having fun.
'I have never worked well with too much planning, I am all about thinking on my feet and doing.'

If there's one thing 28-year-old Jessica Sepel understands it's the value to prioritising downtime in order to reset after a busy week.
The Sydney-based nutritionist is one of Australia's most popular wellness bloggers and the author of The Healthy Life and Living the Healthy Life.
Life for Jessica couldn't be more hectic which means her weekends need to be as restorative as possible.
'As JS Health has grown and evolved I say no to social arrangements if I've had a busy week,' she told FEMAIL.

'Instead, I choose to spend time with family or in solitude to allow my body to rest.'
Her Saturdays are dedicated to rest which means she will generally wake up at 8am and indulge in a lazy morning.
This means lying in bed with coffee and a book and following this with a gentle at-home yoga practice.
'I choose to spend time with family or in solitude to allow my body to rest,' the 28-year-old told FEMAIL
'I don't really make plans as I prefer to go with the flow. Plans often become pressuring for me after a busy week of work,' Jess said.
If the mood strikes, the wellness advocate said she may head out for lunch with friends or family, however, a massage or a walk in nature is a must.
A perfect Saturday night will see the nutritionist venturing out into the city to sample the cuisine of a hot new restaurant.
Jessica said as business has flourished in the last year this means work is something that needs some attention on weekends, however, she revealed this is limited to checking emails only once on both days.

'I also try to check my Instagram once and then delete the app. I try to leave Sunday to be totally social media free (unless I do a quick post for @JSHealth).
'That said, we just launched the JSHealth App, which has a world-first online nutrition clinic, so I've been checking the chat room to assist our JSHealth nutritionists.'
Sundays are also built on a similarly relaxed routine but Sunday evenings are dedicated to making sure she's prepared for the coming week.
'I ensure my emails are up to date. This is my time to catch up on the week's schedule and brainstorm new ideas.
'I have a big notepad where I jot down creative ideas and recipes as they pop up.'
Jess takes the view that no matter how busy a person is, prioritising rest is vital to living a healthy life.
'I see weekends as a time to slow down and prioritise taking care of myself so I can work hard during the week.
I think women need to rest more to live a healthy life, but without the guilt. We need to be okay with doing less and taking care of ourselves.'

Motherhood and 'me time' are often at odds with each other, but as these two Melbourne-based entrepreneurs reveal - with a little planning - it's possible to attend to both.
Meet Carly Pountney and Cassie Sanghvi, founders of the multi-million dollar organic beauty brand, The Base Collective.
It's a business the pair launched in 2016, and since then they've turned over millions selling their magnesium-based products to hordes of fans.
The two women, aged mid-thirties, have five children between them so weekends are structured primarily around family, as they revealed to FEMAIL.
Their organic beauty brand with an ethos of 'being good for you and looking good' is now stocked in top retail outlets including Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie
'Saturday plans always start with their [her children's] activities and any parties they have on as well,' said Carly.
'I am guilty of squeezing in some extra work if Zoe happens to be sleeping and if Amelie is at dance.'
'We seem to find ourselves 'booked up' for months in advance, so I am conscious of trying to schedule an activity free and "just the five of us" weekend once a month if possible, said Cassie.
While enjoying a sleep in is something those without kids take for granted, this isn't something that's a reality for either of these busy mums.
Carly said she doesn't struggle too much with an early morning wake up but she revealed she'd 'love it' if her toddler would sleep past 6.30am on a weekend 'just every now and then'.
The pair shared the above photo on their Instagram page which sums up just how fast weekend tends to go
Cassie and her husband take turns at getting up early for the kids so each gets a chance to enjoy a few extra precious hours of rest.
'I usually get Saturday and he takes the Sunday. When I say sleep in it is till about 8am, but it still feels like a little slice of heaven and I always feel so refreshed just to get up and go at my own pace.

Juggling the demands of family along with business means the duo don't have much time left for exercise, however, some form of movement is a must.
'In the last couple of months, I have been making sure I always fit in a decent walk on a Sunday with a couple of friends who live close by. We keep each other motivated,' Carly shared.
Cassie, a fan of running, said she's unable to hit the road due to a knee injury so while she is recovering she needs to take it easy. A regular swim helps keep her fit.
Both women said their days are a combination of planned events but there's free time factored in to enable them to go with the flow.

'At a minimum, I usually have a list of must-do,' said Carly, 'I tend to move into full-blown planning when we have a few social events or I'm travelling.'
'We are a team, and it's very much a family diary that we have and we all work around what commitments we all have,' said Cassie.
'Being so busy through the week means we try to all be together as much as possible on the weekends.'
Switching off isn't always easy, the pair admitted, but its something each makes an effort to do for the sake of their sanity.
Carly said she will try to earmark her Saturdays as work-free time but will catch up on email on a Sunday afternoon, while Cassie said she does all she can to keep her 'phone and laptop off limits' in order to give her a chance to recharge.
Their business has been a runaway success but this hasn't come without plenty of sacrifice including precious time spent on weekends on email
'It hasn't always been this way but now we have systems in place and people to help us so I figure there really isn't anything that can't wait until Monday morning.'
Cassie Sanghvi (pictured) believes in the benefits of making a few extra dishes on a Sunday
Getting prepared for the week ahead usually sees the duo take some time on a Sunday evening to check diary appointments, make some extra meals or factor in a little wardrobe planning.
'I always make a couple of dishes in advance such as a Bolognese, lasagna or veggie soup so that when we get home late we have a nutritious meal ready to go,' Cassie said.
While Carly added: 'I plan my wardrobe a little more in that I make sure over the weekend everything I know I want to wear for the next week is clean and ready.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
