Plus I enjoy what I do in the office, it can be stressful but its not like 12-16 hours hard physical labour.
I dont work weekends though other than answer email or support requests

You need to quantify what "better" means here to even begin to answer this question: - better for your mental health to take a break or have some fun? - better for your code quality to not introduce mistakes due to tiredness? - better from some economic standpoint because you petceive the increased value in what you produce to be greater than what you value xbox-time at?
- grammaton 16y agoPerhaps you're a workaholic. If so, I wouldn't be surprised that the idea of just unwinding for a while seems strange and alien. If you don't want to do it more power to you, but to those that do - they tend to think of it as an investment in their health.
