How to Take a Real Break (Without Feeling Guilty About It)
Taking a break should be simple. You stop working, rest for a while, and come back when you are ready. Yet for many people, stepping away from work creates an uncomfortable feeling that they should be doing something productive instead. You sit down to relax and remember an unanswered email. You take a day off and check your laptop “just for five minutes.” Even on vacation, part of your brain is still running through the list of things waiting for you when you return.
