I spread my vacations out across the year, just taking one day off a week. It works out to almost 1/3rd of my year is just 4-day weeks and it’s so fucking nice. Going on weekend/week long vacations is so stressful bc you feel like you Have to enjoy yourself. Plus, it fucking sucks taking a week off and then having to go back to work, it’s so depressing being back in after all that time.

The extra day off I get each week lets me just take care of whatever issues come up during the week during business hours, so I’m not scrambling to do stuff on the weekends, or after I get off, or during work/breaks. Or, if nothing is pressing, I can just do whatever the fuck I want. I work 2 days, have a mid-weekend, then two days on, then regular weekend. It should just be the standard, why the fuck do we have to kill ourselves?
