I am re-sharing this old one from the archive on the pressure of having a good day off. I think this is a particular challenge for those of us on a 6-day working week.
My circumstances have changed considerably from when I first wrote this. My children are much older and more self-sufficient and I am longer in the tooth. I have found some good and helpful patterns that seem to work helpfully for rest.
The pressure of a good day off remains, however. I’m not sure I’ve ever quite cracked it. Some are just better than others and such is life.
Check out the article below and see what you think.
