A thought has been simmering this weekend.
If you need a long weekend to plan a time-off, read tuning out or vacation, then something is really off about your life choices.
❤️
Imagine a life where you don’t need to plan around existing long weekends like the rest of the people around you!

Isn’t this similar to a 9-5 job v entrepreneurship debate ?
If everyone lives a life that’s not worth escaping from, a lot of people who do the work that is needed for the innovators to work might not happen?

It is, but many don't see it as yet!

I had a similar chat with someone recently where I said that I meet so many people during the week that my social battery is drained by the weekend.
Her reaction was the EXACT opposite. Saying her social battery is fully charged by Friday evening ready to be out the weekend and go do things

It’s not a practice for me personally but I understand why people do this.
If we had a culture which encouraged taking breaks in a healthy manner, people won’t be going stealth mode to get longer breaks.

I’m not too sure. It’s not just a company culture issue

Not just company. Like I don’t think healthy breaks as a concept is very much developed in Indian system. And this is connected to how we view work. That’s not healthy either.

Long weekends are actually for staying in the city because everyone has left!

I agree strongly — infact the best time to go to restaurants you wanted try 😉 etc — rush is much lower than usual

BLR for me, but likely true for any major city that isn’t a tourist destination otherwise.

Work is framed as a means to an end, a chore to be repeated everyday. And this is not an individual viewpoint, the kind of world we live in is designed to make work alienating.

True. And is also depends where you live. City, town, or village.😄
