Why am I so unproductive when it's a holiday the next day?

Frustrated at day to day stuff that suddenly stops working or day to day tasks that often come off as annoying.

You work from 9 to 5 each day.

Then your house chores, personal tasks and commitments.

Tiring officework/college works, hectic schedules, exhilarating deadlines, stressful environment.

Adding to that the commute from home to work and back.

Now imagine that you don't have to continue this enervating cycle for the next two days.

Taking continuous orders and often reprimands from the seniors and higher ups.

This very feeling of sense of relief and calm is what makes us unproductive the day when there's holiday next day.

It is because we feel we finally have some time to can relax without worrying for the next day.

Isn't all of this just draining? Sure is.

Wouldn't that just be a beautiful relief from the ruthless reality?

I haven’t eaten junk food for weeks, I ate dirty all-day yesterday, but I can’t even workout, why am I so tired?

It drains all of us so much that many just sleep at the moment of contact with their bed/matress.
