I probably should have guessed this would happen, but in my fervor I assumed I’m invincible.

I’ve noticed I work much harder six days a week when I take the Sabbath to rest. Hindsight being what it is, it seems obvious that one would have more energy but like I said: I thought I was a superhero.

It’s probably part restored energy levels and part conviction. I’m sure taking a day to rest makes it naturally easier to get out of bed in the morning and work a little later, but I KNOW it’s also due to me arguing with my flannel sheets that I have a day of rest and this is not it.

For the first month or so I seriously worried that taking a WHOLE DAY off once a week was going to turn me into a bum, but lo and behold – it seems the opposite is true.
