Thanks for this! It’s always nice to have a reminder that breaks are okay from time to time. Not every day has to be crazy productive. You’re the bomb!

Thanks! It's a hard mindset to get into sometimes, but taking breaks (even if it's a few days or even a week) can really help.

Love these ideas! I’ve found that having several hobbies helps prevent burnout, because I naturally drift between them as I feel like doing different things.

Though I will say, taking a break on my novel to write a short story didn’t turn out quite right… my “short story” ended up at 19k words 😂

Haha, well as long as it helped prevent burnout, it's a success, right?
