Having kids helps, seriously. Not that I'm saying "have a kid," but when my kids get home from school (4 pm), its time to stop what I'm doing and focus a bit on them. How was your day? What did you do in school today?

The other way I break away from the work monotony is by taking my dogs for a walk. There's nothing like some sunshine and brisk air to help calm the nerves.

My final way of winding down is putting on a record and just lying there in a listen-only mode. I put on one of my favorite records and just soak it in for 10-15 minutes, sometimes longer.
