Why You Shouldn’t Work on Labor Day
Another thing we can combat individually is the urge to check our messages every time we have a spare minute. Pulling out our phones is often a convenient way to avoid negative emotions or awkward encounters. Yet all this task switching leaves us distracted and depleted, and I can’t realistically handle any of the issues in the emails I read in the 30 seconds it takes to walk from my yoga class to my car.
It stands to reason that our brains would be less foggy if we used those small slices of our lives to take a deep breath, notice our surroundings, and have short, pleasant interactions with the people around us. When we returned to our desks, we’d think more clearly, work more efficiently, and send better responses.
This Labor Day, there’s a way for workers to be healthier, happier, more productive, and solve a lot of our public policy problems, too. We need to stop working when we’re not working.
