I agree on several points.
First, I don't have internet access at home. After 9-10 hours, I don't
really care who emails me. Getting away from it is a good thing.
I go walking. Sometimes, I just walk on the treadmill while reading.
Sometimes I go to the store. Sometimes, I walk with family. But whatever
it is, I try to get out and moving at least every other day.
Most of all, I try to break my routine every couple of days. If I usually
go out to eat for lunch, I'll go home or order in. If I usually hang with a
certain friend, I'll go out with someone else. If I usually stay in and
read, I'll rent a movie. Just anything different!
