Planning Breaks

05/05/15

So, my recent mostly out-of-commission state made me realize, I probably need to plan for or be aware of the necessity of breaks from personal side-projects. I'm thinking being sick earlier made me realize I was a bit burnt out. For a few days after getting sick, I couldn't bring myself to be productive and instead played many, many hours of FTL (love that game).

Now, if I hadn't gotten re-addicted to FTL over the course of being sick, I would have spent my burn-out time on something far less revitalizing, like reading reddit or something like that. I need to be aware of when I need to just blow off some steam, and when I can find productive endeavors worthwhile and fun, and pick the best action from there.

And I don't mean short, minutes or hours breaks. I mean vacation-esque days off. Definitely need to make the most out of them. That doesn't mean some grand adventure. Being an introvert, I quite like quiet alone time to recharge. I simply need to make whatever I choose as high-quality as possible.
