What to Do With a Day Off休假一天做点啥?Step one: Give yourself permission to actually take the day off. If you’re fortunate enough to have a day off from work, the most important thing on your to-do list is to actually take the day off. Studies have shown that people send only 40 percent less email on holiday Mondays compared with regular Mondays. (Thank you, smartphones and tablets.) Not only that, but taking time to let your brain rest and recover “literally makes us more creative, better at problem-solving, better at coming up with creative ideas.”Yes, yes, you’re busy, I’m busy, we’re busying ourselves to exhaustion. But if you have a day off, take a conscious stand against all this busyness. Being busy — if we even are busy — is rarely the status indicator we’ve come to believe it is.

Give yourself permission to plant in front of the TV for the day, recharge your batteries and get a good night’s sleep. It might even make you more productive at work.
