Time off without structure is so hard for me. I don't want to do anything but by not doing anything I am making myself more miserable.
I have started making small to-do lists and I think that helps a bit.
I did the same thing! I had to move my office from the basement to upstairs, so I had a project to work on. I made super short, simple lists for what to accomplish every day. The "big rocks" method, aka list the 3-4 big tasks you absolutely need to accomplish, and a few smaller tasks that need to get done but not necessarily today (The analogy is filling a bottle with big rocks before putting in sand/smaller rocks). That way I can focus on the big tasks while still having some small distractions to keep me "entertained."
