I'm sure that applies to a lot of people, but even when I have, like, 1 day of stress and a month of chill time, I still spend the whole month laying around doing nothing if I don't force myself to do something productive.

Decompression time is definitely important, but it's also important to know yourself enough to identify when you're fully decompressed and ready to do something healthy for your body and mind, even if you just wanna watch another youtube video.

Yeah, it's also important to get in the habit of lightly pushing yourself towards hobbies and other such things with that time. I didn't do much while unemployed, in part because I lost the distinction between rest and wasting time
