Hi.
Welcome back to eat your crust podcast.
I'm Jisoo.
And I'm Crystal.
So for today's episode, Crystal and I wanted to talk about the most relaxing day of relaxation.
As you can tell by the title of this episode, we're really trying to figure out how we can relax.
And this episode is inspired in part by the book, my year of rest and relaxation by Otessa Moshfegh.
I won't spoil it, but you can sort of get a gist of what the book is about from the title.
And we thought also, since the year is coming to an end and a lot of different holidays are starting to come up, it would be a fun time to talk about how we take our days off and how we like to relax in order to feel restored and truly rested.
I want to start off by dissecting what relaxing means or even looks like to people in our age.
So what does taking time off or PTO mean to you?
I guess taking PTO usually just means, like, taking a break from work.
And to me, that's like, I don't have to think about work today.
I don't have to answer to anyone.
And I ideally block out work for a day or so so that I can, like, kind of refresh my mind.
And then when I come back from PTO, hopefully I feel more, like, energized about it because I've released that weight of it earlier, if that makes sense.
It totally does.
And that just goes to show how, like, work is such a huge part of our lives.
Even last week in our episode with Vivi, I felt like just talking about work, you know, really made me realize most of our life is just in work.
But when you personally take PTO, do you feel like you gravitate towards, like, a certain purpose?
