I get bored doing nothing. My vacations are planned out in advance in great detail so as to always stay busy. I still check emails. I answer my phone pretty much anytime, unless it is an out of state area code (too many telemarketers). I am consumed by my work but I still find time for family. However, I am pretty much always sitting on this laptop at home.
