But I'll know, and if I don't get anything done I'll be upset with myself. How do I take a day of without me knowing?

I feel this.

None of my stuff gets done when I'm gone, so a day off just makes things worse when I return to the office, so I end up spending my day off answering emails and taking phone calls.

A day off is basically just remote work that burns vacation time.

Ever hear a little story about a guy named Pavlov and his dog? Companies do this on purpose. They understaff on purpose, and claim they can't afford even just one more person, not even an intern. "We just need you guys to give 110%!" They play on your guilt. It's either:
"Why can't you get your work done? Everybody else gets their work done." All you have to do is never sleep or take vacation.
Or. "You had to stop to pee? You fucking monster. Look at what you're doing to your boss/coworkers! You are literally killing them!"
And yet they can somehow still afford to hire 2-3 people to replace you when you leave.
