Every weekend, I tell myself I’m going to relax, and then somehow, I end up checking emails, scrolling job listings, or feeling bad for not being ‘productive.’ Even when I do take a break, there’s this little voice in my head saying I should be working on something. If you’ve figured out how to actually unplug and enjoy your time off, what’s worked for you?
