Why am I so unproductive when it's a holiday the next day?

Yours Truly

Taking continuous orders and often reprimands from the seniors and higher ups.

It is because we feel we finally have some time to can relax without worrying for the next day.

You work from 9 to 5 each day.

Tiring officework/college works, hectic schedules, exhilarating deadlines, stressful environment.

Adding to that the commute from home to work and back.

It drains all of us so much that many just sleep at the moment of contact with their bed/matress.

Wouldn't that just be a beautiful relief from the ruthless reality?

Now imagine that you don't have to continue this enervating cycle for the next two days.

Then your house chores, personal tasks and commitments.

This very feeling of sense of relief and calm is what makes us unproductive the day when there's holiday next day.

Isn't all of this just draining? Sure is.

Frustrated at day to day stuff that suddenly stops working or day to day tasks that often come off as annoying.
