Ok...
I said I won't make a new GOE thread but this has been troubling me and it seems it's much easier to ask coders who probably had to deal with this than people who are in control of their schedules. (or even people who rely on fixed schedules to make themselves productive)
Rest by itself is always a fuzzy thing but that's really in the same realm as procrastination. Big problem but too large for the scope of this thread.
Lately, my most annoying problem is the balance between push and break.
I sleep enough. (maybe too much even)
I wake up.
I do stuff.
Yada yada...
Routine enough.
When I encounter a problem though. (Like I'm currently having a problem tackling a blog post) That's really where I start wondering.
It's not really writer's block but writer's annoyance. I get to a certain point where I'm just bored at doing this and my writing becomes routine (even rude) and I don't know if I should push through because I'm still writing or lay back because rest equals clearer head and better focus.
Don't even get me started with playing games. I feel guilty playing nowadays.
...Yet if I go to sleep, I get too anxious
...Yet if I start to write, I just start clickity clickity clacking
...Yet if I play games, I'm neither resting nor being productive.
I'm not really asking for personal advice for this problem. There's too much of a risk that it goes towards suggesting how productivity system X can alleviate this and the whole topic gets sidetracked.
This is just here in case anyone wants to share their experiences and how they dealt with it when they encountered these issues.
