I was genuinely sick last month, so I took the day off. Then I spent most of it propped up in bed with my laptop, clearing email. I couldn't seem to just lie there and rest. Even when my body clearly needed it, being unproductive felt impossible.
More people experience this than they realize.
You can't let yourself rest even on a sick day you actually needed.
