There’s So Much To Do

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

PROSE – DAILY PROMPT RESPONSE

Today, I realized I don’t have the mindset to have a lazy day and relax. I grew up believing you worked hard throughout the week and did chores around the house on the weekends. Saturday was the primary day of work. Sunday, I finished things up and prepared for the upcoming week. This logic has been the way, and I find no fault in its structure.

It’s strange how life can change your perspective on things whether you like it or not. I’ve mentioned my recent illness, which has caused me to change my lifestyle. Well, I am attempting to change it. Old habits are hard to break. I require much more rest than usual. I’m napping frequently and not getting a damn thing done. WTF, I appear to be getting soft. I can’t be having that. However, I must be honest with myself.

Honestly, I view my lack of progress in my chores around the house as unproductive, but in reality, getting a proper rest is very productive. I just need to be patient with myself.

  1. This is a great work ethic to have, and I followed a similar schedule myself for a long time.

    Prayers I get older, I find that I do need to give myself a little bit more “downtime“.

    Also, sadly, for me, a lot of times, the weather dictates what will and will not be a “lazy day”
