HOMEWORK: Block off one day off at minimum per week. nothing work-related happens this day. NOTHING. For myself, I don't book ANYTHING except self-care on Mondays. No Dr. appts, no tax lady meetings, nothing. Schedule a few fun things this year. A hike, a girls day, etc. Create an autoreply on social and texts outside normal business hours or on days off.
