Can you give an example? Like how do I make going back to work more enjoyable than the videos or hobbies I do during my lunch break
This is potentially not great advice but it's the only thing that works for me.
Plan things/experiences to reward yourself with that you need actually earn the money for first.
Your regular required outgoings need to be completely covered first but once you've got those, you're working towards earning your reward and every hour now gets you closer.
I'm salaried but I hope this helps others :)
If you can, reorganize your tasks so you handle the most unpleasant or difficult stuff before the break. Maybe leave one specific task you enjoy the most for right after the break so you can use it to kickstart your brain back into work mode.
That is a question only you can answer for yourself.
I wish for you the best of luck in everything you choose to do.
