Got Monday off and I'm torn between actually relaxing or doing something productive. Part of me wants to sit on the couch and watch sports all day, other part knows my wife will kill me if I don't at least tackle some of the honey do list. Probably going to compromise and do yard work in the morning then watch the game. How do you guys balance it?
Honestly both sound good. We usually do a bike ride or hit a trail on long weekends so the kids burn off energy, then we earn the couch time guilt-free.
A little of both is the move. Take the kids somewhere fun in the morning, then absolutely own that couch time in the afternoon.
If you're asking yourself this question, your gut's probably telling you to relax. Go with that.
Do nothing. Seriously. I spent an entire long weekend last month fixing the fence and I was exhausted the whole time. Your family needs you relaxed more than they need another project done.

Why not split the difference? Do one small project Saturday morning, then actually chill out with the family the rest of the time. That's what I'm trying to convince myself to do anyway.
