I felt a need to put quotes around the “day off” portion of that sentence. Before one can consider answering it, you have to consider the phrase’s definition. I mean, a day off what? Work? There is work everywhere. When I come home each day, I know I have enough work waiting for me to never face much “leisure” time in my foreseeable future.

Is it time away from my paying job? Well, I can make a strong argument that work done to improve my home will be more valuable than my salary at some point. With the pandemic pushing folks to work away from work for over a year now, there is a new normal.

I think we are at a point where we redefine the nature of “work.”
