The requirements for paid work are often designed as if everyone were young singles without children and without the need for time for recovery. But even young singles need time for recovery, otherwise we won't last long. Older people need time to read homework with or spend quality time with the children. Young and old may want to have time and energy to cultivate their circle of friends or to exercise. Maybe you have something to do with the Tax Authority or you want to become active in a political party or a non-profit association. You may have to help your parents move into a nursing home or take care of their funeral and estate. There are a number of things that we need in addition to salary work. Working life must be designed so that we have time and energy for these needs.
