Taking breaks is essential to sanity. That's probably why I am insane. Ha ha ha. But seriously.
My goals involve daily writing and engagement, but I tend to take natural breaks. Like when I injure my knee and can only access Hive via my phone because my laptop is over there (points sadly).
Now that my knee is recovering, I need a new excuse.
But, seriously, I worked myself too hard for years. Then I burnt out terribly. Now, I jealously guard my time and energy and feel NO GUILT about taking breaks.
I feel guilty about taking breaks. The sentence before that was a total lie.
One thing that helps (when I can do it) is writing in advance. Instead of writing seven days per week, I try to write two articles per day for four days per week and publish seven days. That is my theory. I have actually accomplished this zero times so far.
I wrote seven days in a row, though. Once.
I am starting to seriously think this comment has no point to it.
Token?
