Being a young man with a fresh career, I feel work really takes a lot of time and deprives a lot of people of creativity, this is one of the reasons there are many setbacks in the country. We men are meant to be productive not just in our physical appearance or combat, but in our response mentally and physically. We are born to provide solutions to every necessary detail needed to carry out every necessary research.
I feel that with the current holiday system in my country, there should be more holidays than we have, for salary earners. Weekends are holidays for entrepreneurs; every day or any day can be a holiday, but based on government or state bodies' enforcement, holidays can fall in celebration of anything or any day. I feel that for a court to grow and develop, there should only be 3days or 4 days, the highest working days, other than 5 or 6 days. Most organisations in my country operate on 6 working days, and they feel this is normal to engage with. Personally, I believe this is not normal because the person can't have time for himself, especially for his family.
Based on general holidays, I feel holidays like that should be a week or even months, not just a day. Personally, weekends should be an engagement and productivity season of holidays, not just about resting time. I see holidays as a time to analyse things and make plans for myself on the best way forward, on what to do next, or my next move to take. I also make sure I enjoy holidays to my taste, but my mind is too strong to be far from productive, so I spend most of my time trying to figure out what to do, or I make sure I keep doing something I feel might be creative.
Most of my holidays, I spend a few times with friends or I spend them alone, but I make sure every holiday counts, even weekends in which I engage in watching and learning YouTube videos or getting updates from people on TikTok or Instagram. Yeah, I know social media can be a joke sometimes, but the truth is, it all depends on who exactly we follow. Personally, I make sure people I follow are people I can rely on and learn from, and also copy their spirit and drive to be a better version than yesterday.
We all have individual differences and plans for ourselves, but I feel the holidays we get are too few, this is one of the/reasons we cherish December a lot because there are a lot of holidays in it, unlike January, which is flawless except for the first day. We really need more holidays, not just for resting, but for people to have personal time to think and be creative with themselves. Holidays are good, especially in a country like mine, where work and everything can be really draining; we need more holiday engagement.
This is my entry to Hivelearners weekly prompt, week 184, episode 2.

I know men always have this hunger for growth and progress in life but I think taking a day or two of holidays off will rather sharpen the mind more to think better
You're so right. Creativity is on a downward spiral and it's because people are not allowed to rest. Everyone is going to work everyday without smiling and it is telling on the country as a whole.
Thank you for sharing. 😇
