Being a person thats currently dealing with this i found this a great read! There are a bunch of things i could use. It also made me realize that my state is more serious than i thought.

An addition to what you can do is reading. I recently picked up a few books and started reading. Its great for letting your self go and put work aside.


These days when I feel a little too overworked, I picture this drawing in my head:

then I remember life should be fun and calm down :)

I think it's a good article at its core, but the poor grammar & spelling really get in the way.


Indeed -- it's surprisingly hard to read as a result.


the guy needs an editor, or a proof-reader at least.

anyway, i think he made good points.


Short answer (from the article):

Get some exercise

Take a break

Hang out with friends
