Sunday nights feel heavy because the weekend you didn’t use is leaving. Use a little more of the next one.
STILLNESS
WHAT THIS MEANS
That weight on a Sunday evening is usually not about the week ahead. It is a quiet accounting of two days that promised something and then went past in bed and on a screen. Weekends that get used, even partly, tend not to end that way. The feeling is information more than a mood.
Put one single thing into next Saturday before it arrives: a walk, a job finished, somebody to see. Leave the rest of it lazy, because productivity is not the aim here. Having something to point at is.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
What would make your next Sunday night feel less heavy?
MORE IN TIME, MORTALITY & LEGACY
- Teach the new kid the shortcut you figured out. Keeping it to yourself doesn’t make you important. Passing it on does.
- Do something every day for ten years and people start describing you by it. Choose your daily things carefully.
- Someone in your family worked jobs they hated so you’d have options they didn’t. Use the options.
