What they said -

I aim to always have something going that isn't an immediate need but that I find fun - like working on some graphics that won't be going up on the site for months but which I enjoy creating (or catching up at WebmasterWorld). Something that's relaxing for when the brain is dead.

But sometimes you do just have to get completely away from the computer.

And, yeah, there will always be something wrong with everything you do, just because nothing's perfect. I think it's the Navajo who have the custom of intentionally putting in a mistake when they start weaving a blanket, to remind themselves of that fact.

But when disasters start snowballing, it's probably time to step back - get some exercise and get some sleep - and, if possible, spend some time with someone who makes you laugh.
