Incorporate an aspect of "play". Cooking -- what's the craziest/funnest thing I can make with ingredients at home. Studying -- allow myself to go down rabbit holes and explore them thoroughly Coding -- build something fun, even though there might be urgent work on my plate. Also allow myself to do nothing. This is much harder, because doing something still feels productive. Do these activities as a way to recharge and refresh. If I find myself doing these too frequently, it's time to reflect and perhaps make a larger change.
