- fatherzine 3y agoPure personal anecdote, a couple years back I did explicitly choose to observe 'zero work Sundays', either office or domestic. Rejecting the oft self-induced guilt for daring to catch my breath 1/7 made a measurable dent in improving QoL. While YMMV, give it a try. Usually stuff can wait a day.
- yoyohello13 3y agoI have noticed this too. Often people spend the weekend doing housework, personal projects or other chores so it doesn’t really feel much like a rest day. I don’t always have the chance, but truly doing no work one day a week is very refreshing.
- Phileosopher 3y agoA huge part of this is tied to the "conscientiousness" aspect of the Big 5 personality. For myself, I need 1.5-2 days of off-time, depending what I'm working on. I consider myself a constant grindstone-lover, and most of the people I work around seem to reflect your 3.5 number, but I've seen some people who probably need 5 days off a week. No shame in any of it, though. Everyone's wired differently. The USA has a unique taboo about "enjoying life", and I blame its post-WWII militarized culture for the most of it.
