About Ending my Days off
I've been enjoying two weeks off from work, and I have been relaxing. Since there isn't much to do because of Covid19 restrictions, I haven't been able to travel. That's why I've stayed in my province all fifteen days long, and I've found out that you don't need to go far from home to have a really good time.
I've read a lot, I've gone to cool restaurants, and I've practiced yoga and weight training. And best of all, I've hung out with friends and family without constantly needing to keep an eye on my watch. When you are bound to a timeshift, you can't be truly free. It's a pity that working is mandatory in order to pay bills. But I guess that working so hard makes us value our spare time even more.
Tomorrow I'm getting back to work, so freedom is over. I will try to make time to keep on writing and correcting on LangCorrect. I think finding a way to enjoy ourselves is healthy, even though society is always striving to make it all about our job. Don't let it success!
About Ending my Days off
This sounds kind of awkward... Instead, I would maybe say "Reflecting on my Days off"
I've been enjoying the last two weeks off from work, and I have been relaxing.
Since there isn't much to do because of Covidthe COVID-19 restrictions, I haven't been able to travel.
That's why I've stayed in my province all fifteen days longthe entire time, and I've found out that you don't need to go far from home to have a really good time.
"all fifteen days long" sounds weird here. The correct version would be "for fifteen days long", but it makes more sense here to write "the entire time" because that's what most people would typically say in this situation.

When you are bound to a timeshiftthe clock, you can't be truly free.
"Timeshift" is indeed a word, but it wouldn't fit here. I'd suggest to go and read the definition of the word, so you know when to use it :) I changed the sentence so that it keeps what you were trying to say, but in different words.
What would be the word you'd use for "timeshift" in Spanish? Maybe I can help you figure out what you wanted to say.
It's a pity that working is mandatory in order to pay bills.
But I guess that working so hard makes us value our spare time even more.
I would combine this sentence with the one above it to make one longer sentence:
"It's a pity that working is mandatory in order to pay bills, but I guess that working so hard makes us value our spare time even more."
It would sound better that way :D
Tomorrow, I'm getting back to work, so my freedom iswill be over.
Introductory words (such as temporal expressions like 'tomorrow') normally need a comma before it :D

I changed 'it' to 'life' because it wasn't clear what 'it' was referring to.
Don't let it success!
I'm not sure what you mean here... what would this mean in Spanish? Maybe I can help you find out what it means in English :)

Nice post!

Thanks a lot for your feedback!
I was trying to write "horario laboral" when I wrote "timeshift", and when I wrote "Don't let it success" I meant something like "La sociedad no para de presionar para que la vida gire en torno a nuestros trabajo. No dejes que lo consiga".

"Horario laboral" translates to "working hours" or "work schedule". In that case, I'd say "When you are bound to your work schedule, you can never truly be free."
Here's how I would translate your other sentence: "Society pressures us into thinking our lives only revolve around work, but I won't cave in!"
To understand the term "cave in" a bit better, read the third definition here: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/cave-in

Wow, thank you very much for all the feedback! Now I know a new phrasal verb. Most detailed and useful correction ever!:)
