What is this? Some sort of art? Not saying it shouldn't be here, but I'm not really sure how it's relevant to HN.

I dunno, I think it's a refreshing reminder to take a step back from the "be hyper-productive, always learning, don't waste a second" mindset that pervades HN pretty heavily sometime.

I honestly stepped into the article expecting to read something like "Wake up early. Work on your side project. Go the gym."

I think it's perfect for HN.

This is lovely!

It does however make me reflect that I would do something like this on my "day off" too. And by "this," I mean I would feel the need to create something, post something, or otherwise turn my relaxation into some kind of output.

Recently I've tried actively not creating and just allowing myself to relax without being conscious of it.

I should note that I'm not presuming anything about the author. Writing may well be their way of relaxing. I just wanted to share a self-realization that I hope may be helpful to others.
