If you run a website or your own company it is always on your mind. I find myself thinking about work when I’m at the gym, when I’m driving home, and even before I go to bed. Even though thinking about work is a good thing if you are always thinking about work it can stress you out! I have been going pretty full steam on ThinkComputers for the past few weeks and it has been stressful, so getting my mind off work is always a relief. It is very hard to get my mind off work but here are some things I do to escape from work.

Movies and TV
I really recommend watching a movie. Most movies are close to an hour and a half long and usually if its a good movie you won’t be thinking about work when you are watching it. Of course you really can’t watch movies everyday so TV is also a good escape. I never thought I would really use my DVR, but I have been using it a lot lately.

Video Games
Video games have always been a great escape for me. They definitely keep your mind off work, just don’t get a game that is addicting like World of Warcraft!

Going Out
Lately I have been on a really good schedule where I am working all during the week and on the weekend I usually go out one of the nights and hang out with friends. It is always good to get out and if you are sitting at home all the time you need to take 1 night a week and get out of the house.
