Honestly this is a big part of the reason I'm in favour of a 4 day week. A 3 day weekend gives 1 day for chores, 1 day for family and social stuff, and 1 day to veg out. And I need all three of those.

[โ€“] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

And I require that every day. ๐Ÿ˜‹

[โ€“] Guadin@k.fe.derate.me 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, a lot! When I haven't had such a day in a while, I start noticingd it in my energy level and willingness to plan social activities.

[โ€“] BuckWylde@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

One day is the bare minimum

One day is not enough. Just me and nature, ideally 6 days a week.

The remaining day was for showering.

Yeah, every few weeks I need a day like that. It really does help.
