The workweek is not natural

I walk through Alta Plaza Park almost every day.

Today is Sunday. It's 65 degrees and windy. It's a bit chilly if you're not wearing a jacket.

When I walked through the park an hour ago, there were dozens of groups picnicking.

This past Thursday, it was 70 degrees and sunny. Almost no wind. Objectively, it was a better day for a picnic.

But there was almost nobody at the park.

Why?

Because Thursday is a weekday and Sunday is on the weekend.

Just one example of how we abide by working norms rather than going with the flow of nature.
