Ah, summer. It's time to be lazy There is only one condition. If you take it too seriously, it is not laziness. But taking holidays seriously is exactly what we Americans seem to be doing. Similarly, our children's free time is now full of all kinds of activities. We adults have turned holidays into "active leisure". Whenever you are exhausted by trying to relax, it is active leisure. Our holiday has an agenda and a goal. We visit our families, attend weddings, go camping, visit that damn museum and make sure we can ride the roller coaster-no matter how long the queue is. We Americans are so active in leisure that we often complain that we need to take a vacation from our vacation. We left home tired; We came back exhausted.

Ah, it's summer. It's time to relax again There's a little trap. If you take it too seriously, it's not relaxation. But we Americans seem to only travel and relax. Our children's free time, like ours, is full of all kinds of activities, and we adults turn holidays into "active leisure". Whenever you try to rest but are exhausted, it is active leisure. Our holidays always have an itinerary and a purpose. We visit relatives, attend weddings, go camping, visit that annoying museum, and make sure we can get on the roller coaster-no matter how many people are waiting in line. We Americans are so active that we complain about the need for a holiday during the holidays. We were very tired from home, and we were still exhausted when we came back.

This is why many of us decided not to go. Compared with other industrialized countries, Americans have few holidays (average 14 days), but ironically, we don't even use them. The average American will have four days off this year, which adds up to 574 million days off. Our relationship with relaxation seems contradictory. We spend more money on leisure than anyone else in the world-fully one-third of our income-but we are also the number 1 in the world.

This is why most of us decide not to go out. Compared with other industrialized countries, Americans only allocate very few holidays (the average number of days is 14), but ironically, we never make use of these holidays. This year, Americans will spend an average of four days on vacation, which adds up to 574 million days of free vacation. Our relationship with leisure seems to be the opposite. We spend more money on leisure than anyone else in the world, but at the same time, we rank first in the world in terms of no holidays.

One of the primary reasons for not taking a vacation is that there is too much extra work. In order to leave, we must finish our workload in advance, and then we must make up our workload when we come back. The longer our holiday, the bigger the stumbling block. Therefore, only 14% of Americans will take a vacation for two weeks or more this summer. Bottom line: the pressure is too great to relax.

One of the reasons why we don't take a vacation is that we have too many extra preparations. We must finish our work before we leave, and when we come back, we must start to finish the work we missed again. The longer the holiday, the more jobs we will leave behind. So this summer, only 65,438+04% Americans enjoyed a vacation of two weeks or more. All in all, leisure is really too stressful.

We Americans take leisure time so seriously that you can now get a doctorate in leisure studies from Pennsylvania State University and 17 other famous universities. Yes, it's a doctorate, not just a bachelor's degree. In academia, this is a very promising field, so there is a lack of qualified educators. We do not have enough people to teach leisure. I'd like to make a joke about it, but I don't want to incur the anger of leisure scientists. They'll hit me with a lawn chair.

We Americans take vacations too seriously. You can even take vacations at 18 different universities to get your doctorate. Yes, a doctorate, not just an undergraduate diploma. There will be a shortage of many capable learners in this field. We don't have enough people to teach leisure. I want to laugh, but I don't want to arouse the anger of leisure experts. They will tie me to a chair in the yard and beat me.

Undoubtedly, thanks to pagers, mobile phones and e-mails, work has entered every hour of our day. Our lunch time is even less than an hour; They only have 3 1 minute on average. It dropped for five minutes. In 10 year. But don't be afraid. We are secretly taking revenge. Nevertheless, we found a way to be lazy. How come? It seems that we have been stealing more and more free time all day.

There is no doubt that work occupies every moment of our lives, thanks to computers, mobile phones and e-mail. We didn't even have an hour for lunch. On average, we only have 3 1 minute. /kloc-at least 5 minutes after 0/0 years. But don't be afraid. We will take revenge in secret. We found a way to relax no matter what. How's it going? It seems that we are trying to steal our rest time every day.

For example, in recent years, surveys have concluded that the average American office worker spends just over two hours a day, not including lunch break or rest time. One hundred and twenty-six minutes a day, to be exact. How do we use the stolen time? "Interval" is a common survey answer. Chatting with colleagues is obviously very popular. Surfing the internet ranks ahead of everyone.

For example, a recent survey shows that American office workers only take an average of two hours off every day, and this does not include lunch and normal rest time. To be precise, one day 126 minutes. How do we use the stolen time? Chatting with colleagues is very popular. But browsing the website is the champion.

We may even prefer these short fragments of "stolen time" to long authorized holidays. We find it more interesting and satisfying to go for a walk when we should be working or running errands. This is our way of revenge. This subversive element makes the stolen time more enjoyable.

We may enjoy these "stolen time" more than the approved holidays. We find it more interesting and satisfying to rest when we need to work. This is how we find a balance. This destructive element makes this stolen time more enjoyable.

We are especially good at stealing time between events, such as on the way to work or on the way home from school. We extend the stopover to the rest stop. We have 20 minutes. The tranquility of Starbucks. When there was a traffic jam, we called an old college friend to chat.

The faster we run, the more time we have left. In order to meet this desire, McDonald's announced a major redesign of its restaurant, replacing polymer chairs and melamine tables with padded fabrics, stainless steel tables and plasma TVs. By imitating the look and feel of our own living room, McDonald's will now encourage staying. The boundary between wandering and wandering has not yet been determined. )

The faster we do it, the more time we have to steal it. In order to meet this requirement, McDonald's announced the renovation of the restaurant, replacing plastic tables and chairs with cushions, stainless steel tables and flat-screen TVs. Turning the dining room into our living room, McDonald's encourages everyone to stay. The difference between staying and wandering is still inconclusive. )

Although it seems crazy, we like to relax in places where exciting caffeine and super-fast food are served.

No matter how crazy it seems, we like to rest in places where caffeinated drinks and fast food are sold.

According to the travel agency, the growing trend of travel is a half-week secret trip around the weekend. Families will still go to Disneyland and Paris, but we will compress this experience to three or four days. We don't have a chance to relax, but when we leave, we will feel as if we have bought a bargain for our precious time. Fewer days off means less catching up.

According to the data of travel agencies, the growth trend of travel is half a week. The family still went to Disney and Paris, but we compressed the experience into three or four days. We didn't have a rest at all, but we felt that our time was well spent. Less working hours and holidays mean less work.

When we came back to our desk on Tuesday, we were a little dizzy from the tan, when a colleague asked, "How was your weekend?" At that time, we gave a sly smile. We felt that we had defeated the system. Isn't that what we really want?

When we came back from vacation, the sun was burning and we lost our sense of direction. When our colleagues asked "How was your holiday", we felt that we had won a battle with the work system. But this is what we want.
