Taking a day off in a week is an absolute must and also changing the pattern of work a little bit if possible helps a lot too.

I find when walking, I usually have nothing else to do while waiting to get to my destination except think. Same goes for taking public transit. But it's not quite the same when you're driving because you're focusing on driving and probably have the radio on as well. I don't think I could leave the house without my cellphone though.

My life is very routined and every now and then I want for nothing more to break away. Workin’ 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin’
Barely gettin’ by
It’s all takin’
And no givin’
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It’s enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

Ok, so I’m know Dolly Parton but I enjoy browsing your blog. My life is very routined and every now and then I want for nothing more to break away.

He would take one day off a month to organize everything: - catch up on bills - run errands during off-peak times - catch up on reading - cook for the family - spend day-time with the wife - stay up late the night before with the kids It worked wonders for him and I incorporate it every once in a while. I usually schedule it a couple weeks in advance. This helps me stay organized. Usually I take a Wednesday. It has an added bonus of making that week much more exciting.

I think there's a lot of wisdom to be found in the bible, regardless of your take on faith and/or ultimate reality. The concept of a sabbath day is one that I think had/has excellent benefits for mind/body/soul both in relation to religion and in relation to simply being human.
