When was the last time you spent all day hanging out with your girlfriend, doing nothing but wasting time? I think a lot of us at HN have a hard time "wasting time" by doing nothing. I know I personally feel very unproductive spending an entire weekend not working on personal projects.
But it's important. My girlfriend and I just spent all Saturday walking around downtown Boston window shopping because the weather was so lovely. It was a great, relaxing day - it felt like vacation.
So do that. Hell, use up some of your vacation days. Your company will survive without you for a week or three.
And stop working so much. Seriously. Set a time and go home regardless of if you have "finished" your stuff for the day. It's a hamster wheel of work and you'll never go home if you have just one more thing to finish.
