Taking it Easy

帰り道の景色

本日はね、ゆっくりとした時間を過ごしました！

もちろん無駄に使ったじゃなくて

バイトもちゃんとできて

でも休憩時間もちゃんと取った


なんか珍しいね

ある同期は僕に評価された

「休みができない働き中毒男 」

と言いました


まあまあ

それは完全に間違っているわけではないけど

僕

働き中毒じゃないよ　(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

たまに仕事を楽しんでしているから

そういう見えるかなあ 　（*゜ー゜*）

でも皆さん

仕事はもちろん大事ですけど

休み時間に休む方がいいよ

体を大事にしますように　ね

でわね 

お　や　す　み

I've decided to take it easy today, after clearing up my office spot yesterday.

It's not like I wasted the entire day, but I actually made time to run some errands, take another step into adulthood (more on this in the future), and also took breaks in between work assignments.

It felt great! I can't remember how long it has been since I had a healthy balance of work and play. Usually it's me forcing myself to focus on work while inevitably slipping into compulsive devouring of YouTube videos and social media. Today felt wholesome, on so many levels.

People should do more of this with their lives. I'm not denying that work is important, heck, I've been labelled as "a workaholic who doesn't know how to rest" by my colleague, yet I'm starting to realise, or remember, that adequate rest and entertainment is just as important for us as human beings. In fact, I think it boosts overall productivity without negatively impacting my drive for the days to come.

Honestly, we should value rest more, especially in this fast-paced world in which we live in now. Take a look at your surroundings, you might notice something beautiful, like the scene in the beginning of this post. You might even notice me (wink).

Here's to more rest and productive work!
