Don't feel pressure from seeing how productive others appear to be in their free time (social media can be misleading)
Don't feel pressure from seeing that others are working more than you but you haven't the motivation/energy at this time to do more about it

Everyone's situation is different.

IT'S OK TO NOT BE OK
(Just my two cents)
