How do you manage to relax without feeling guilty for doing that?

by•
For those who are in full-time jobs and also working on their side projects how do you manage to squeeze time out to relax? What is the right amount of "me-time" if you are constantly feeling guilty for taking that time out in the first place.

Plan your breaks and relaxing times in advance. Make a week plan. That will give you confidence when you are all the way into working mode. Check out daycaptain.com which we built for doing this. ❤️ I also wrote a blog post on this: daycaptain.com/entries/why-planning.html

Nope, never ever feel guilty for 'me time'. For side projects, assign the time you are able to give to that project (Thursday nights for example), maybe it's between 6am and 8am before work? But never ever compromise on 'you time'. Seen it happen, for your mental and physical health look after it.

@richardesigns Thanks for that reminder, Richard! And that's a suggestion I can try implementing.

It's a question that I'm still curious about as well. Anyway,

I kept track of my development both on days when I gave myself permission to unwind and on days when I didn't. I also get massages to unwind. The mind begins to view some brief relaxation as a way to help you achieve the intended objective as soon as you recognize that it is important for optimal performance.
