Because of my job, there are times when my daily routine changes quite a lot. Over the summer between mid June and mid August, I don't work at the school. I do other things on the side for income, but for the most part, I actually don't even go indoors unless to use the restroom including showering or occasionally prep food. I actually eat and sleep outside at a campsite near where I grew up. There's not much more than woods, a fire pit, a pond, and a tent. I still peek at WinAMP forums from time to time, but for the most part, I'm away from the internet. It's the kind of break that really helps me a lot.

There are smaller examples too, three separate weeks spread throughout the school year (in conjunction with U.S. holidays) where I pretty much abandon the computer and get in touch with a lot of out-of-town family and friends.

Those kinds of breaks help me to refresh a bit. I hope you have times like that too; it keeps you feeling good to be back when you return.
