    I was off for 6 weeks and it didn’t happen. I’ve got endless productive things to do at home before work ever becomes a consideration.

      To me, that sounds like you need to take the time to do your home projects first and then take the vacation. I don’t know what would work best for you, but for me it would be taking another 6 week break. I’d spend the first 3 weeks doing the home tasks, and the next 3 on the vacation

        Bro some people just don’t want to work without it directly benefitting them outside of money.

        I’ll grow/hunt my own food. I’ll cut my own wood. I’ll put in all the effort for things that directly benefit me.

        But going to a job where the majority of my efforts benefit someone who puts in maybe 1/10th the effort to the point they make 10x my wage is just torture.

          I get it, capitalism fucking sucks. We’re talking coping mechanisms for taking breaks from the struggle though, and I’m just describing what works for me. There’s no guarantee that the things that work for me will work for everyone. I just think people work too much and should take breaks whenever they’re able.
