As the title states, working towards tomorrow feels like there's no off days. Any advice?

My specific industry is web based so hours in don't always equal positive reinforcement out

One of your goals needs to be taking care of your body. Earlier nights to get better sleep, time set aside to cook healthy food, hobbies that reenergize you. Schedule days off specifically to do nothing.

I'm a goal driven person. Once I hit my 20s I realized I was doing goal after goal after goal and not taking a break. I got worn down and sluggish. I nicknamed my goals "the eternal to do list" because no matter how hard I fight to get it all done, I'm always going to add more. So I schedule time for myself alongside my other tasks. Not only did I feel better, but having the contrast between work and relax days helps me better identify when I start getting burned out.

"Eternal to-do list" is PERFECT! You're totally right, I definitely have been doing something similar with constantly adding more to the list. Great advice, thank you!
