Cutting the Slack
I am someone who always sets aside work for Sundays. My wife is always miffed about it.
But it is because I set aside work for Sundays that I manage to keep rest of my week more free and less tense.
Time, especially family time, is a precious resource. 1/6

Sundays, vacation days, holidays may help you get the slack you need for life.
So, make use of the slack. 5/6
