If you expect yourself to be SUPER PRODUCTIVE constantly, that'll become your new normal — and anything less will feel like failure. This is how burnout happens. (yes hi hello 
it sucks)
Celebrate your productive days, then reward yourself by allowing yourself days of REST.

If anyone else constantly raised the bar for what they expected of you, you'd get mad at them pretty quickly for the unfair treatment, right?
So why then do we do it to ourselves?
Speak kindly to yourself. Rest is needed so that you can regen for productivity another day. 
I definitely need to keep telling myself this
How would you react if someone else constantly raised the bar for what they expected of you, so that your goal was consistently out of reach? And why then do you accept this when it comes from yourself? You're doing great. Now stop what you're doing and enjoy your rest.
I currently have a major bunch of work for execs. I'm forcing myself to step back, play games and let the answers come to me rather than getting frustrated and beating myself up I don't have all the answers immediately. It's incredibly hard :/
We've all heard about the endless amount of research done on how rest and recovery helps us become more productive later. Self-imposed crunch is just as bad for you as the kind of crunch that journalists write about. Enjoy your game time and allow your brain to rest!
This is such an important reminder. I find it incredibly hard to detach self-perceived value from productivity. Thank you for this. <3
Yep. This is currently my big struggle too. Putting words onto my thoughts as I try to learn and become better at it is definitely helping — and I'm glad it's helping you too
I have days when I know I won’t output anything, so I do other things instead like have one on ones and check/help other people with stuff... documentation, production work or whatever... still benefits the studio and the other people as well.
Absolutely! My brain still needs to see rest properly thou, I rest from professional art by doing personal art! Like:pic.twitter.com/xYyAB7i6G3
I always hit the personal work after the day,i need to get those ideas out of my head.unless im working late,but even then i like to sketch n sculpt on the tablet. Really helps me relax too.
