I'm exhausted. Tired. Burned out. Fried. (Insert your favorite synonym here. ) I've worked too hard for weeks, and have then spent the last several days catching up on bills, laundry, household chores, etc. I need to chill out. A day off. So that's what I have planned for Saturday. You could probably use the same.
Now a day off for me is literal. A day off from everything. No schedules, no to-do lists, and no pressure. You get up when you want to. And then take things as they come. There is no requirement to do a dang thing.
If you want to take a nap, do it. But don't feel obligated.
If you want to walk around the back yard, do it. But don't feel obligated.
If you want to go see a movie, do it. But...you get the idea.
Personally, I like to spend a day with no TV, no computer, nothing. Even watching TV implies a schedule and requirements. You have to wait until a commercial to go to the bathroom or get something from the kitchen. That's confining. Just chill out. If you need to, refresh yourself on "the power of now."
If you feel guilty looking around the things you "need" to do, get over it. If you can't, get a room. Literally. Check into a local hotel. There's NOTHING to do there but relax.
Everything you need to do will still be there the day after your day off. And you'll be reenergized and much more prepared to handle it all.
Who's going to join me?
