I used to feel guilty when I wasn't being productive. It took me a while to realize that if you're drained, then you should look away from being "productive" and instead look at "recreation". One way I think about it, is that if I take a break today, I can come back stronger tomorrow. Or, I can push through it today and then be forced to take a longer break because my mind/body won't perform. I wish a retained a reference (next time), but apex predators spend a very little time hunting and the vast majority of their time resting and recovering. Maybe something worth learning.
