I can't speak for others here but I sometimes go through periods when I don't want to do anything more than absolutely necessary.
I've used "Mental Health Day" in the past to explain/justify it.
But I really think there's something to it. Especially if you're the bread winner and overall are responsible for your domain.
Sometimes we need a break!
Part two:
This concept is important to understand as it relates to retirement. Throw in whether you are single or not, as well. Also key factors involved in how things play out.
I am now down to only two properties I maintain the landscaping for. That's not a lot of responsibility so very near to being 100% "free". It's enough however, coupled with being single, that allows much freedom on how I spend my time. I like doing this kind of work so it's OK.
Part three:
While I have always enjoyed my activities - I have to say having more scheduling flexibility to also take naps, sleep in, go to bed late (or early) is an incredible luxury. I've earned it and am embracing it, too!
Epilogue:
How did it get so late so soon?
It's night before it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June.
My goodness how time has flewn.
