To be the ideal day off, it needs at least one more day off before and after it.
I wake up, all the chores were done the day before. I have nowhere to be. My wife and I make our coffee and sit outside. The weather is cool enough to be comfortable with a blanket. We sit in silence mostly, observing the changing autumn leaves.
We meander, doing nothing of importance all day and go nowhere until we pick up a deep dish pizza from our favorite local restaurant. We take it home and eat it on out couch while our cats watch enviously.
We go to bed, and fall asleep immediately.
I really don’t know.
Theses times, I need 4 days off to start to be efficient in my “serenity” 😅
A day where I really don’t have “external things” in mind, and where I just “do” for me.
After it’s a story about hobby’s, passions etc 🙂
This is the main reason why the Italian Renaissance occurred.
People growing wealthy enough to have the time and money to create art (or at the very least hire artists) to create art and come up with new ideas.
If you have a world full of people who are just making ends meet all the time … ideas, art and anything new just stagnates as people spend more time surviving instead of using their free time to come up with new things.
Days off are a state of mind. I’m proud to say that my mind hasn’t worked in years!
