Hi Dinys,
I feel like each person has their own version of 'day off'. For me, I still have lots of ideas and I still think a lot about my goals, however, I choose to plan to execute them on a different day.
I have a whiteboard in my room that has all of my goals written on it and if I have an idea, I'll add to the whiteboard. Sometimes, I just sit on my bed staring at the board to try and figure out different ways of getting where I need to go and what steps I need to take. On my days off or when I don't have time, I just write it on the board and leave it for a brainstorming session. I've found that just getting an idea into the universe helps get it out of my head so I can focus on other things.
I think I just realized that working full time, plus getting a badge every day, plus learning to code, and plus writing two blog posts every day was just a little much for me. I feel much better after resting yesterday and I'm excited about the content I'll be writing this week.

I don't know what you will consider a day off. Even if I am taking a day off, I am always thinking about things I could write, implement or learn. If I want to chill, I will prefer to read some books, and even that will make me feel that I did not do anything productive.
Thank you for reminding that resting is essential to avoid burnout.
