MORE OR LESS

As humans, you don’t want to imagine a life without working trust me, no matter the luxury that comes with those days when you don’t have to do anything, it’s only a matter of time before you start praying for work to come. 5 working days is fair enough but to some they work round the clock because they just can’t imagine themselves at home just eating sleeping and having fun.

Working is something pleasant and good but then for some people they wish their work days can be shorten and that is due to some reasons. Well I guess that is why once in a while we go on vacations and holidays to help us rejuvenate for better productivity so it is all good. Too bad some companies don’t value their workers that much to give them holidays or vacations except they want to quite their jobs.

So for this post, I’d just share a reason why I might prefer shorter work days or would love it to remain as it is.

Sometimes, it’s how we tend to think that the days of the weeks might be too small or too much or our 24 hours in a day is either too small or too much. The truth is the days of the week is very perfect and the hours in a day is just as well perfect. The problem we have most times with it is that as humans we lack time management and too bad time waits for no one. I remember some days when I’d cry because I didn’t get to accomplish all my goals in a day and I’d say 24 hours is too small but hey, that’s totally on me.

The moment we all learn to manage our time considerably, the more we see how perfect the working days are and we will even get more time to ourselves to rest and wish we will have more working days because we complete our tasks for each day easily. Just like a student, the more you tend to pile up your assignments and notes to study, the harder it gets for you to complete them. As workers, some days when we failed to plan out how to accomplish all the days tasks we will end up having them piled up until the point when we keep complaining the workload is too much.

Sadly that might not be just our faults alone but then we are still going to suffer for it. My point here is, working is something honorable that everyone should strive to do and the 5 working days is just okay, my only problem will be with more working days and thereby adding more pressure to those of us that find it hard to complete their tasks in time. The other 2 days of the week should be an opportunity for us to complete that work but if we have work on those days it will be harder to do so and the work will just keep piling up.

Let’s stick to the 5 working days, for me it shouldn’t be more but it can be less but… if it’s not it’s still fine. We all need more time to rest so an extra free day won’t be bad at all but I’m very cool with 5 working days. I’d just use this opportunity to advise those of us that work to try our best to manage our time properly so we won’t feel the weight too much on our shoulders. Always make sure to do little of each task everyday so it won’t be too much trouble to finish when the deadline comes.
