I’m one of those people who feels the need to have a well thought out list, a game plan, and an itinerary for every weekend. If I’m not smashing my to-do list, what’s even the point? Even for ‘rest’ days, I’ll make a list of how I’m going to relax and mark the items done as I get to them. This evening’s agenda for rest: Take a bath, read (a to-do also tied to a yearly reading goal and finishing a gifted book), do some yoga (exercise! productive!), and maybe watch some TV.
True lazy days – no agendas, no plans, no to-dos – they make me feel a little itchy. Like I’m squandering my potential because I played video games for several hours.
I don’t really think life needs to be lived that way – I see the value in lazy days, in rest days. However, at the same time, I’d like to be able to quantify it somehow. It’s a contradiction, but so are humans.
