Better advice is to allow yourself to do other things sometimes. We all have this idea of what we should be doing, usually work related and when we are not doing it we feel guilty. It took me a long time to accept that it was OK to sometimes go off on a tangent to satisfy my own curiosity and that not only did I not need to feel guilty about it but that it was actually good for me mentally and for my career because I learned new and valuable skills and avoided burnout.
