> The best thing to do in that situation is to accept the fact that you are not feeling in the zone. But the solution is not to give in into that feeling and start binge watching NetFlix either Ah I disagree, as a sample side of one. I tried pushing through for a while and doing a small amount of work / refactoring, but it didn't really click. Finally decided to try not working on the days I wasn't in a groove, and have found that if I do, I have much better ideas and crank out a massive amount of work over the next couple days until I wake up feeling out of the zone. Most people would probably benefit from not having a 2 day block weekend, but rather having downtime on say Sunday and Thursday. In the same way athletes have staggered rest days. I'm lucky enough to have a job where I can do this, but it was also a semi-requirement during my last job search.
