    I call that a mental health day. Aka, my brain doesn’t want to work and have fun instead.

    Seriously, sometimes calling in every once in a while and getting some stuff down around the house, the yard, or actually enjoying a hobby - does wonders for the mental health.

    Skipping work when you feel productive and refreshed vs only when you feel like shit - should be a thing (aka mental health days ran in tangent with sick time).

    I actually did that for the first time recently. I’m lucky to have a job where taking time off is encouraged, though.
