My most deadly mental trap for productiveness is convincing myself to not do the things I want because I don't have a full day to start doing them. I work swing shift and fall asleep immediately after coming home, so when I wake up I have a solid amount of time before I have to go to work, despite this I will refuse to let myself enjoy or be productive with this time because it is not a day off.
I need to redefine and come to an understanding with time. How long does it take to start reading a book? You can be through the majority of it in just a few hours. I have a few hours, so just read the fucking book. Even on my days off, I typically only really do these things within a 1-4 hour window and will feel very satisfied and content with them, and I have this time before work so i ought to use it! Even just one hour of some mindful consumption will do wonders for my mood and ability to enjoy the rest of the day.
