Ideally, Shabbos is a time of rest and tranquility. Shouldn’t Shabbos, and the time that surrounds it, be the epitome of serenity and tranquility?! The concept of hassle would appear to be diametrically opposed to menuchas hanefesh.
In fact, some people will tell you that their lives are more organized and even more ehrlich during the weekday than on Shabbos. During the weekday, he has a set schedule... the time he wakes up, the times he davens, the time he devotes to learning.... But when Friday and Shabbos arrive, his entire schedule is thrown off. In addition to the frantic activity and the myriads of tasks to be done, there’s a “scattering of the soul” that comes with a different schedule and different foods, etc.
One may sometimes think that it’s more difficult to serve Hashem on Shabbos than during the weekday.
