I used to work non stop. Life suffered, loved ones became distant, and I burnt myself out. Thought if I slowed down I would make less money and progress less. I eventually worked myself sick and had to take a break. From then on I decided to pretty much keep to work hours that I set. I may break these on occasion but typically I now will only work for 8-10 hours a day - that's it. I also take at least a day off each week if not two days off. On top of that I start my work days with a routine, I make some tea (was coffee), make my lunch, have breakfast and then go to work on the computer. I take a lunch break (eat prepared meal) and wrap up around 6 to 7. I get more done than before, am rested usually, and my relationships etc are better. I also really feel going through the process of making my lunch etc. really sets the mood and tells my body and brain that today is indeed a work day.
