Do you take time off to have some fun?
My son and I stop twice a day (if possible) to play a game and relieve job stress. We set up our cornhold game to the job site. I think it is important to keep the daily grind in perspective, allowing a bit of time for fun. On the job we are fierce rivals, but during a yearly tournament in WS we are team mates.
The photos below show us playing the game and…uh…don’t blush!… reacting to an astonishing lack of bathroom ettiquete. How do you relieve stress? How do you “recharge your batteries” during the dayly grind?

Great! We made a wall in the office as “The Wall of Fame”. Decorate it with awards, thank-you notes from clients, invitations for someone's birthday or for coffee. Also we bought a darts and organize competitions.

I'm starting to take a break every so often.
That would be to do a job.
a shame when it interferes with the T-time.
I work commerical construction: we re-charge batteries after work but I had my kids build us a cornhole set as a woodworking project. They had fun building and decorating it and now it's a family activity.
Yay!
Pass on the fun! It is so important to ENJOY our daily work, our families, our towns...the good ol' USA! We four, mother, father (me) daughter and son are totally in love with our jobs. Three of us are self-employed and my daughter gets to tell the boss how things get done! :) Where ever I go and whatever activities I do, running, hiking, ref.-ing and coaching soccer, I try to promote a sense of joy. The quality of our work is an extension of what is happening within our hearts and heads. :)
Of course I do, if there is no fun, there is no life, I take some time off and spenf time with my wife and kids, we play games, watch movies, and at times, we even cook food at home.
