When I quit my job for full-time prep, I decided I’d treat every day as a Wednesday.
This way I don’t have to fight:
(1) monday blues
(2) TGIF vibes.
I later made an amendment and now keep Sunday as a Sunday.
So, in a week I plan all my work as if I have 6 Wednesdays and 1 Sunday to test and rest.
To make the prep sustainable:
* 1 complete sunday break, once a month.
* 3-4 day break once a quarter.
I feel the mindset of “I don’t have the liberty to take breaks / feel-bored“ helps a lot.
I guess, sometimes the notion of I don’t have a choice helps make the right choice. Which is whatever you do that doesn’t kill your time.
