The Day of Rest

When you're working in a job that's not your typical 9 to 5, and you can conceivably be working at every single hour of every day, you sometimes have to force yourself to chill out for a day.

Relaxing when I could be working never used to be a problem. In fact, I still kick ass at wasting time. But now I just feel extraordinarily guilty about it.

Every once in a while, though, it's important to just do nothing. Let your fields lay fallow and such. Hang out with friends, eat good food, watch college football... when you get back to whatever it is you're working on, you feel a lot better, fresher, and with a new outlook.

Or I'm just feeling guilty about a fun Saturday with friends.

Either way, I'm standing by it.
