The Weekend Is 100 Years Old—I Want It To Disappear

Weekends weren’t born from someone’s great heart. From this The Guardian post, it seems Henry Ford popularized weekends. He wasn’t thinking about his employees’ well-being, but his own pockets. More people in the streets = more cars = more sales. That story reminded me of a line I heard in my first job: “Build a life you never need vacations from.” I don’t remember where I found it. I remember being at my desk wondering why I was doing. It stuck with me ever since. So what about forgetting about weekends? What if all days look and feel the same? What about making every day as boring or exciting as you want? What about waking up with purpose, doing what we love, and being around people we love every day? What if we stop pretending and do something we care about? It’s time weekends disappear. If this resonates, check out 10 Surprisingly Simple Ideas That Changed My Life. Some of them helped me recover from burnout and put me in the path to make all days look the same.
