Sometimes you need to rest. However, I heard a long time ago - when you have a week or two off, make a list that you can do during that week. Rest, yes, but do some other things too. If all you do is rest, you will be filled with regret after, and, ironically, not rested. If you rest + do some stuff, you will say "I accomplished this" and "I am rested and ready for what's next" I've got big things coming from my "10 days off". I'm close, I will share the win when it is a COMPLETED thing, not before. But I have another thing to do on my "week off" list first, which is clean. Ugh, but hey, check that list.
