Let’s embrace French Sundays – the art of doing absolutely nothing
The idea of being deliberately unproductive is certainly tempting. The only concern is that you might enjoy it too much ...
TL;DR
- A 'French Sunday' involves complete rest, avoiding errands, cleaning, or batch cooking.
- The strategy aims to combat 'Sunday Scaries' and prevent burnout by deliberately doing nothing.
- This is presented as an antidote to the modern lifestyle of constant productivity and efficiency.
- Activities recommended include sleeping in, relaxing, and gentle pottering, rather than striving for maximum weekend utilization.
- The potential drawback is enjoying this inactivity too much and attempting to extend it into the work week.
