No need to hide like Ferris Bueller!
Refreshing the pyschological batteries: It's a concept I learned long ago, and no doctor's note needed!

Every day for a year?!!?
And you're alive to tell about it? That is too much and as you stated it affects one's ability to be at the top of their game. Thankfull as a writer I also have downtime, those days I would like to work but when there is no work to be found :)

They call those "personal" days here, starting in the '80's. But it's been over a decade since you could take one off w/o jumping through hoops. The original idea was great, then the malingerers started abusing them like they do everything else, ruining it for those that might really need it.
The hospital I worked at was something like Greenpoint - they talked endlessly about caring about their employees, but didn't back it up with actual care.

I think the one necessary aspect is to have those few days when you can call in on a moment's notice and say "Sorry, I ain't coming in. No fake coughs or sneezes, no reason given, I just ain't gonna make it today...CLICK!"

I think the days off need to be strategic so as not to fall behind. I too try to do the 'no weekend' thing, but sometimes that option falls by the wayside :(

My mom used to give my sister and I the "mental health week" from school. It was a trip to Florida every January. I remember her notes to the principal well...she would pledge to make the trips educational with museums and historical sites although it was always just beach and shuffleboard :)

A day off might be hard to arrange, but sometimes it is a necessity! Today with the oild and floor cleaner I had no choice :)

As we at Greenpoint know well sadly Sunday is the start of the Israeli workweek. Maybe one day the psychological day will take hold here. Until it is work or be like Ferris!

I watched some Ferris Bueller Clips just to get in the mood.
