Work Brain
I was at work at 9:07am yesterday. I left at 6:45 to go drink and play trivia with co-workers. I got home just after 10. I promptly passed out and woke up at 2am with the taste of vodka in my throat. I haven't been asleep since. I tried but every time -- the work brain started turning.
I feel like lately all I know is work. I work all the time. I don't get much dilly dally time during the day and after my day is over, I'm processing, planning, re-thinking, strategizing.It's a little maddening.
It's 6:31am. I'm going through my music downloads. I'm thinking about just going into the office extra early.
Curse you, work brain.

It's really about discipline. Work at work and leave it there when you go home. I've realized a million things can go wrong with the internet. There are just too many variables and we can't control everything - what system people run, what browser they use, did they upgrade their version of Flash, did they turn off javascripts, what's the screen resolution - it's all a crapshoot!
So, my tip of the day to turn off Work Brain is to have some scheduled weekday activity that's not work-related, but just as valuable to your life, like an exercise class. Something once a week perhaps. I took some cooking classes.
