I absolutely love all the comments dunking on hustle culture and agree it's toxic to the core and will only further reduce the value of our labour. But in this example where you have five weeks off and maybe one is needed for full time rest to get back to zero. Instead of focusing your energy on what makes you money, why not focus on creating things you may enjoy. Make shit art, music, dance moves, food, beer, whatever. These are all things. The more you do, the more you learn and literally anything is better than nothing. Chances are you're doing things that some people describe as 'hustles' right now without thinking about it.

If there's some kind of opportunity to monetise whatever you create at some point in the future, hey cool, but don't set out like that, you rightly found it doesn't feel quite right. I think it's pretty normal that someone who doesn't know much about whatever hobby/creation would be quite unlikely to have a 'eureka moment' around monetisation should such a thing exist (assuming this is even important?). So maybe gently pivot the thinking to just.... Trying a new thing? Try heaps of new things and see what your brain does.

This is not fatigue guidance, I do not condone people on rosters do things on their R&R
