Why am I so unproductive when it's a holiday the next day?

Wouldn't that just be a beautiful relief from the ruthless reality?

It is because we feel we finally have some time to can relax without worrying for the next day.

Then your house chores, personal tasks and commitments.

Isn't all of this just draining? Sure is.

Frustrated at day to day stuff that suddenly stops working or day to day tasks that often come off as annoying.

Taking continuous orders and often reprimands from the seniors and higher ups.

It drains all of us so much that many just sleep at the moment of contact with their bed/matress.

Adding to that the commute from home to work and back.

What are the possible reasons for people feeling depressed after the holiday season? Why does being alone exacerbate these feelings?

Now imagine that you don't have to continue this enervating cycle for the next two days.
