In the latest episode of “Let’s Ignore Reality,” CNBC suggests that the secret to happiness is pretending your weekends are vacations. Yes, because nothing says “relaxation” like deluding yourself into thinking your cramped apartment is a beachfront villa.
According to their groundbreaking advice, you should:
- Break Your Routine: Because abandoning the laundry and grocery shopping will magically make them disappear.
- Plan Local Excursions: Because visiting the local park is just like a trip to Bali.
- Complete Chores During the Week: Because after a 10-hour workday, who doesn’t want to scrub toilets?
- Minimize Phone Use: Because ignoring your boss’s weekend emails is a surefire way to keep your job.
- Enjoy Nature: Because nothing says “vacation” like dodging dog poop on a city sidewalk.
- Spend More Time in Bed: Because sleeping through your problems is always the answer.
So, there you have it. Just pretend your weekends are vacations, and all your problems will vanish. Or, you know, you could face reality and plan an actual vacation.
