I like taking days off randomly, when I want to, without praising anyone.

This made my day! Thank you! 🤣

Depends but I usually have a football (soccer) game on Sunday's so it ends up being my most physically strenuous of days. But when there is no game scheduled I use Sunday as a full recovery day to get ready for training the next week.

My Sundays are off, my Mondays are off and so are other days of the week. I mean I don't work and don't follow that old authoritative schedule any more...

Nice, thanks for visiting stacker news on your days off.
reply
SN is full time these days because it's really hot out there. The couch, the t.v., cricket and the phone are best things here. It's scorching high outside... 40° C to 47° in last 30 days..
reply
I always have to do something on Sunday, but compared to any other day of the week, it's the day I do the least or I'm least busy.
reply
Is it because you have weekends off? Or is it something else?

No, but I will work an hour or two less than other days usually, letting myself putter more so I have time to do more chore-like things. This is at least the case when I have a clear picture of what I need to be doing. When I don't have a clear picture, most of the work I have to do is thinking, which doesn't look as much like work unless I'm using the time for research.
reply
I always appreciated the fact how seriously you take thinking.
reply
Always working on something, checking emails for work if there is a problem. The afternoon however most of the time is not productive. Yesterday it rather was.
reply
Signs of running a business maybe?
reply
Haha! It could be, but in my case sign of a startup
reply
yes, this is true
reply
I help run the slides at my church so my mornings are early and busy but after lunch it's nap time 😴 Saturday is my fun day usually, I like hanging out with my local friends that day.
reply
Nope!
Since 2020 happened I've shaped all my future, weird work in a way that allows me to buidl things even when I want to relax, so its easy to do 16 hour days all year ;-)
Hell, even when I seriously need to relax that happens through different modes of meditation which I'll offer training for down the line, or by roaming rural roads on my motorbike, which also turns into content eventually!
Bring it on, WEF fuckers, I'm in this fight for the long haul...
reply
Wow, would love to read the blog version of this. Fascinating.
reply
I work Monday to Saturday, and make it an effort to take Sundays off to spend time with wife and kids. But sometimes, there is simply too much work, and I do have to work Sundays. Usually, working Sundays is rare though, probably happens once or twice in a few months or so.
reply
If I'm trying to build something, I generally stick with it until I've got it working, so that can mean Sundays and many many Sundays, and many holidays, etc. I know, that's not healthy, moderation, blah blah blah.
I'm currently Fiat mining again so I'm trying to make the most of that. And for a little while my rule was to not work Sunday, and instead sleep late, veg for a little bit and maybe do some shopping or dinner with family or something like that.
However now I'm so mentally wiped by Friday evening that Saturday is the day I sleep in, veg a good chunk of it, and then Sunday I'm right back doing work a half day or more, cuz I'm refreshed.
The exception is when it's summer temperatures If it's nice weather on both weekend days I'll take Saturday and Sunday off, do some bicycle riding, or some other reason to be outside. Where for a weekend when both days are bad, then just the opposite -- I will work both days quite often.
And then if only one day is going to be good well then that's the day I take off and the other day I'm at work, whether it's Sunday or Saturday.
reply
i take Sundays as my off day because i believe you cant be too busy all through the week for your creator, and Sunday is the only time i get fellowship with my fellow Christians
reply
💯 agree!

Deleted because I tried to edit and didn't realize "canceling" my edit would delete my original post. But I feel it was important enough to try again:
I would also 100% agree if we could prove who or what our "creator" is. But the evidence is abysmal. Do not trust, verify instead. Don't believe things on abysmal evidence. And don't make up evidence to make yourself feel better or in order to fit into fake "fellowships".
Sunday morning "fellowship" is no different than the "fellowship" that the terrorists experienced right before they carried out the 9/11 attacks. It's no different than the camaraderie experienced in war.
I would teach my children to understand that "fellowship" is an experience..... not a truth. Emotion should never be a guide to truth. Sunday morning worship is a human experience.... not a "truthful" one.

Interesting take, thanks for sharing.

No, because parenting is a full-time job 😰

Sunday is like the day of rest. But often its the day to sit back and drink. :)
reply
Cheers! 🍻
reply
I've been reflecting, but the day of the week is regardless.
Hustle life is devoid of schedule, so a reflection on god is close, near, and sometimes (hopefully) journeyed.
reply
Keep at it hustle!
reply
I am an entrepreneur and since I manage my time I always decide on Saturdays whether or not I am going to work on Sunday.
reply
One of the perks of being your own boss.
reply
What's a day off? Unless go where there is no signal (I should go there more often :-))
reply
Lol, I am sure you would find a way to work on something.
reply
God rested. Thus I rest. Rest is important

Faith wise I should but I don’t! I do try to have good balance throughout my week though
reply
Nice to have balance! I struggle understanding what balance is.
reply
Self reflection. 168 are in a week. How do you spend them. Write it down. Look at screen time? Sleep time? What are your priorities vs. actuals? If they are off, adjust!
reply
Great advice!
reply
For all practical purposes I take Sunday off. I rarely do any work for money on Sundays. Like you @Car Sundays are focused on worship and gathering with other followers of Jesus. I tend to spend more time with the family and friends on Sundays and sometimes hobbies. I believe there is deep value in rest and Sunday is a day that I rest more than any other day. I also spend some time on Sunday to mentally prepare for the new week.
reply
Sounds a lot like me @kepford, I look forward to Sundays for this very reason as well.
reply
I don't count research and writing as work....so I guess yes mostly :)
reply
Same, that's the fun stuff!
reply
I try to take Sunday afternoons off as I have a Tai Chi class in the mornings but I do think at least one day per week should be a rest and reflection day ideally.
reply
Nice! How long you've been doing Tai Chi, I've been wanting to get into Boxing.
reply
Since I was about 21 so about 24 years. Boxing is great, I used to train it myself. 👍
reply
wow
reply
I usually try to have a day off no matter what, so sometimes my Sundays fall on any other day.
reply
Ya most of my young adult life was similar to this. Which is why I love working Saturdays.
reply
I don't do any fiat mining on Sundays, but I still write on SN if something interests me. So, I guess my answer is "sort of".
reply
Do you make posts for the week ahead? Kinda like scheduling it out?
reply
I'm not nearly that organized. The closest I get is leaving unfinished posts sitting around for a few days, until I find the motivation to finish them.

I do a similar thing with ideas all the time. Any particular thing getting you to finish it?
reply
That's a good question. Usually, it's a matter of not being happy with how I'm conveying an idea, so I just let it sit there in an open tab.
Seeing the tab open keeps it present in my mind, even if I'm doing other stuff. Eventually, either a satisfactory idea pops into my head or I just muddle through or I scrap it entirely.
reply
i believe after a long and stressful weak, i deserve Sunday as an off day to prepare for the next days ahead
reply
As you should, is there anything in particular that stresses you out completely?
reply
The Biblical Sabbath is Saturday! and yes, I take some time of Sat, and am easier on myself. I praise & worship the Lord every day of the week! Sunday I actually work the hardest, and get the most done!
reply
I love to do deep work on Sundays. 👀
reply
I'm confused whats deep work?
reply
I prefer taking random days off, the world is different when you are out-of-sync with the masses
reply
haha, sounds about right
reply
No, but I try to.
reply
reply
Not working anywhere except for in my fields sometimes, no more than a few hours a week..
reply
I don’t take many days off but I will spend less time reading comments and posts
reply
I always post - no days off for me - i'm only 22 days in though :)
reply
I try not to do any active work on the weekends. weekends are for hobbies, leisure and a sturdy cocktail. Or two.
reply
"Don't trust, verify"
Let's distrust government propaganda, but completely ignore the role "the church" and religion has played toward controlling the peasantry throughout modern history. Let's just believe stupid shit because it makes us feel good, but be "strong" and "sovereign" in all other areas of life, such as finance, guns, food, energy, etc.
If anything, Bitcoin has made my Atheism stronger. Christianity is fiat, and there is zero "verification" for a creator or a god of any kind. Zero evidence, outside of humans making shit up.
