Orthodox Jews just turn everything off from Friday afternoon to well after sundown Saturday night. No interruptions are allowed. The idea of Sabbath is to break away from being enslaved by the demands of life and our work and bring ourselves back into a state of peace with Nature and with God. True freedom can be found by giving oneself the gift of rest to thank God for letting us pause to appreciate the beautiful world He created in which we are privileged to live.

It is sad to see that it is no different than any other day now. Here in Germany, the law passed that stores can be open on Sunday, but it probably won’t happen until the Christmas season. Some car dealerships have been having Sunday showings for a couple years now, but I don’t think that they have actually sold on Sunday. All is changing. But, even with Sunday a non-working day, one cannot even vacuum or do any other “work” that makes noise, and there is little church-going.

The total disregard for the things of God, in general, not just ignoring The Lord’s Day (Christian)or Sabbath (Jewish), is a large part of the downfall of America today.

The day, Sunday, is not the Sabbath. The article is mixing up the Sabbath with Sunday...

People might find that their productivity actually increases if they take one day per week off.

With so many family & work demands in my own life, I can understand why this day does not hold the meaning it had in the past.
However, I have dedicated the last 6 month to getting up an hour earlier and spend time walking and reflecting on my life and the Giver of my life.
I borrowed the idea from Tony Robbins concept, "Hour of Power"
Some may snicker of the originator (TR), and I don't want to sound like his informercial,but it literally has transformed my life.

23One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
25He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”
27Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

The Sabbath was and is on Saturday.
The Sunday Sabbath was instituted by the Catholic Church.

Col 2:16. "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day." Sabbaths have often been used to divide people. The ifs, when, and wheres.
The day of rest is a good one. However, some will do it and some won't. Paul said don't judge concerning the Sabbath.
