Took two weeks off between jobs and spent most of it convinced I was falling behind

Had ten days between offer acceptance and start date, planned to relax. Instead spent the first week doom-scrolling LeetCode threads and feeling like everyone else was using their gap to ship a side project or get a cert. Week two I made myself stop and just did nothing job-related, and it turned out fine, showed up on day one rested instead of resentful. Wish I'd trusted that from day one instead of losing a week to guilt first.
