Do you ever spend any day in a week/month without working for even a bit?

Everything feels like work now, even things I should find relaxing. And when I’m not doing something productive, I feel like I’m wasting my time. I hate it so much.

@Root the sacrifice for a success.
We came to this and wished for that in order to be successful.
We can't stop it, because we fear we would stop running and would be left behind or would not continue.

Yes. Many days.

@Root I feel you. This is the kind of response I was looking for. Recently tried out one thing on suggestion. Set a specific time, and do - nothing. No actions of 'work' or 'active recreation'. Just observe the world may be (no devices).

Felt a huuge guilt at first, firstly of being unproductive and then of wasting time not doing stuff to 'relax'. Doing nothing isn't that easy when you want to, for some people like me.

Had quite a liberating experience after trying a few times.

@RikaroDev paint a wall and watch it dry 👌

Yes. I had one week of vacation and didnt even touch a computer.

@Root Wow, same.

Welcome to my remote workday with no meetings.

@RikaroDev Meditation, basically. It’s very therapeutic.

Yes, such days are called weekends. If you don't remember having experienced this phenomenon please look up "work-life balance"
</sarcasm>

Yes.

Yeah like once a week

Every weekend, occasional holidays. If I officially have a day off, I am not going to do any work at all unless something in production broke horribly (and even then, if I'm not on call in our rotation, I'll ignore the alert unless nobody else is available).
