My old way to fight stress was to just keep working through the weekend.
Now I schedule a fake 'meeting' on my calendar every Friday at 3pm called 'Park Bench' and I have to go sit outside for an hour. It's the only way I'll actually stop. Anyone else have a weird trick that forces you to take a break?

Ever think you were just bad at breaks? Ray643's system maintenance trick and this park bench idea changed my mind.

Does the system maintenance trick work for you every week or just sometimes?

lol that's genius. I put a recurring "system maintenance" block on my calendar for wednesday afternoons. It's the only thing my brain respects as a real excuse to log off.

But is your brain really that picky about what counts as a break? I just close my laptop when I'm done for the day, no fancy calendar tricks needed. Seems like overthinking it to me.
