Get some exercise and clear your head
I run a small IT firm and the daily stresses are similar to what we all seem to face. My "secret" is to set a FIRM policy. At 5PM I'm out the door and on my way to the gym. Anything "pending" can wait (with very few exceptions). For a couple of hours I'm on a treadmill, a stationary bicycle, pumping a little iron. It's all so therapeutic and head-clearing that I recommend it to all. And it's not bad for the waistline either. I'll come home at 8PM showered up and refreshed, sit at the home PC to catch up on email and perhaps deal with a couple of issues before having dinner. But...please...if you're one of those BOZOs who thinks you must be reachable 24x7 including while at the gym, STAY HOME! The nonsense mobile phone conversations that I hear from the self-important blowhards are mind numbing.
