'Some days when I’m not getting anything done, I’ve got this lingering guilt that I’m having a “zero day”'

I had this and after many years of treating myself that way, I treat myself kindly. It's a toxic approach and the easiest way to burnout. It's OK not to do anything.



It’s okay to have ebbs and flows. I would be worried only if that turns into a very long period of time. And even that is okay at times..
