Understanding Off Hours: Why They Matter
Have you ever wondered when the concept of off hours first emerged? Surprisingly, it dates back to at least 1898! According to Merriam-Webster, off hours are simply “a period of time other than regular business hours” or “a period of time other than rush hour.” But in today’s constantly connected world, these once-clear boundaries have become increasingly fuzzy.
Most of us still operate around the traditional 9-to-5 workweek, Monday through Friday. Yet with the rise of remote work, flexible schedules, and our ever-present digital devices, truly disconnecting when the workday ends has become something of a lost art.
So why should we care about protecting our off hours? The answer is simple but profound: proper downtime isn’t just nice to have
