Weekends

Sometimes I wonder about the utility of weekends. It’s a constant struggle between wanting to do stuff you have no time to do during the weekday due to work or school or whatever it is you do during the weekday if you’re an eight-to-fiver, or shutting down and recuperating from a crazy week in preparation for another crazy week. The compromise seems to be to spend a day out, and a day resting, but that’s seldom possible since there are so many demands upon your time. It’s personal time that’s usually sacrificed, the quiet moments that you try to take to reflect upon your direction in life and where you want to go. I guess that’s why so many people get stuck in cruise control, with little incentive to change directions because it would entail allocating a lot of time that you don’t seem to have. If your current situation drains away all your time such that you’re unable to find a quiet moment, how crazy would it get if you’re trying to get into something new? Opportunity costs are a real pain.
