Abstract
With the daily rhythm as a backdrop, this study explore the pre-requisites for recovery. Based on group interviews and a diary study with employees at a Swedish insurance company we focus on the relation and tension between the first (labor), second (unpaid homework), and third (planning/organizing for the second shift), shift. The participants described that limited possibilities for internal recovery during work was compensated for by external recovery during off-work time. However, having solely responsibility for the third shift restricted the possibilities for recovery. The material showed that women between 30-45 had the main responsibility for a complex “third shift”.
