We all have been through those days that seem to take just about everything out of you. Suddenly you look at the clock and realize that it's 10 o'clock and you still have an unimaginable amount of work ahead of you, and you haven't eaten dinner. What's the solution to the awful feeling of being overworked?
A lazy day, or "mental relaxation day," if you will. Sometimes we all just need a day; a single day can flip your week around. It helps you get caught up on work, maybe sleep in a bit, and even catch a movie. So, the days where you feel like you just need to unwind need to be spent wisely. Here are a few things you should next time you decide to play hooky.
If anything, you have got to catch up on rest. The primary reason for taking a day off is to reboot your system and make sure you can function properly for the rest of the week. Do you want to take two or more naps in a day? Do it! The day is yours; make what you would like out of it.
With this, I suggest spending the day focusing on what you are eating. Yes, this is the day to do nothing. However, you do not want to set yourself up to have too many days like these. So, make sure you eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you will have plenty of energy throughout the day.
To keep yourself inspired to get yourself through the week, do something for yourself! Get a manicure, see that new movie, or even spend an hour finishing up the book that you've been reading for ages. Try and find a balance between catch-up and you time. Make sure that you do not waste the day, but rather use your time to rejuvinate yourself!
