@sean said “Life would be better if every weekend was a three-day weekend.”

My response:
Possibly. Or it could be that what is special about a three-day weekend is its relative scarcity, and making every weekend that way might destroy the increased value.

I think that every “weekend” needs
1. Some time where you rest and relax, above and beyond your regular nightly sleep time.
2. Some time where you allow the family members and friends (whose labor allows you to rest) to have their own rest and relaxation and enjoyment time
3. Some time where you do something you enjoy and some time where you allow those friends and family members mentioned above to also do something THEY enjoy. Hey, maybe there’s an intersection, where you can all do something enjoyable together.

Occasionally, a weekend needs more, and that’s where three-day weekends shine. Participating in some occasional event or activity that you look forward to, that works best on a three-day weekend.
