I installed an off switch a couple years ago as I lay on the operating table thinking to myself, wtf
Yeah. Trying to relax a little as life takes time to develop sometimes. I fall asleep with the TV on so I don't go all thinking about all the stuff I think should get done quickly. If I wake up I'm screwed as wife gets mad if I flip TV back on once the sleep timer turns it off.

It's a way to step out of the office. When I'm in a zone, I'm in it. I have lots of food in my file cabinets(some files too) and used to eat at my desk. I still could but it is good to get out if it's an all day office day, at least go for a quick drive to the bucks.
I come from a family if work-a-holics which is why I'm as good as I am but I know how to work efficiently at the same time so I appear to be relaxing a lot.

It took me forever to figure out, thinking about shit doesn't get shit done. Getting shit done gets shit done Not to say on occasion when payroll is in the $.25M range I don't occasionally wake up in a pool of sweat or frightmare. But I have gotten pretty good about turning it off almost completely when I need to. Like a switch. Working 12hr days helps to get shit done and doesn't leave much time to think

I have to do kind of the same thing but I got some wireless headphones and plugged them directly into the FIOS box so I can still listen to something but turn the TV off and keep her happy!!

When you're signing the checks and that money comes from accounts attched to your SS# its hard not to think about it. Gauranty the recipient is dreaming about it too:p

they don't know about the stress you had the night before. Or being at work til 3am fixing a network crash likely caused by them:
