If you’re someone who always feels the need to be productive, add a recurring task to your to-do list called “Do Nothing” or “Intentional Rest.”

This gives your brain permission to relax without feeling like you’re wasting time. When you “check it off,” you still get the dopamine hit of completing a task while actually giving your mind and body the recovery it needs.

This small trick can help reduce burnout and make your rest feel more earned and guilt-free.
