Why you can't actually relax until day three of the vacation.
Vigilance has momentum. You've been scanning for problems for months. Scanning doesn't stop because the view changed.
There's no off switch, only a dimmer. Your system needs repeated evidence that nothing is coming due.
That's what days one and two are for. Not wasted, working. By day three the alarm believes you. Plan for that instead of resenting it.
