I spent the evening yesterday without my computer (mostly). I spent some time with a friend, helped my daughter with her homework and played some Wii. It was quite a refreshing change and I think this is something that most IT developers need. The ability to let go. This is something I have struggled with a lot in the past but learning to change my ways. I went to bed at 2 AM but I am functioning at 100% today with only 5 hours sleep without even the smell of coffee!
So today, take a walk at lunch, do something different tonight, pick up a hobbie but get away even if it is just for a short period.
