I spread out my vacation time throughout the year to take these little breaks.

I put away my computer and my phone is only used for emergency calls from family and close friends. I don't watch any TV or play any video games. No glowing screens.

I read. I paint. I work with hand tools and build wooden boxes and shelves. I nap. I read some more. I play with my kids. I teach them about woodworking, birds, ants, and gardening. And sip wine late into the night with my partner.

Programming will always be there. It can wait while I recharge.
