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

    You can always reframe your goals and set reasonable expectations for yourself. People often use “It’s a marathon, not a race” as a metaphor for achieving long term goals. I think this metaphor sucks because a marathon is still kind of a race. Achieving your goals is more like putting coins in a piggybank. You will only be able to put in so many coins each day. And some days you will have no coins to give. But that doesn’t mean you didn’t put any coins in yesterday nor that you won’t put coins in tomorrow. Be kind to yourself and know that you will get there eventually. Growth is not about intensity, It’s about consistency.

      consistency is probably not the word you’re looking for based on your explanation. likely persistence.

      And sometimes time off is an investment in yourself that will enable you to invest in your goal more efficiently / effectively when you get back to it.
