Did so for me too at first. Kind of ironic actually :)

I sort of did the same thing and occasionally get the same feeling.

I committed to lifting weights 3 times a week though (in the morning), as a way to keep myself going as it makes me get out of the door and I come home refreshed, ready to get to work.

Other than that, eat healthy, get proper sleep, and meet people!

Works for me :)

Re:Why GitHub Hacks on Side Projects on Monday April 04, 2011 @05:48PM (#2408711)
This isn't, and shouldn't be, the focus, but an added bonus it that maybe, just maybe, something valuable will come out of such projects.

Wasn't that how a Mining company from Minnesota (3M) ended up doing post-its?

Am I the only one who found the idea with tiny bubbles at the scrollbar more interesting than the story itself? Front-end developers' curse :P

I'm curious what others think about #3 (The vertical scrollbar). Traditionally it's considered messing with the defaults of the browser, and wasting precious screen space; but I hear from more and more (graphical) designers that they'd like me to stop the page from jumping by doing exactly this.
Re:States with the highest taxes also rank as the unhappiest? on Wednesday December 30, 2009 @05:12PM (#1023343)
To make a general statement like that based on a study purely on USA, seems wrong.

I used to live in Denmark where they (according studies I won't bother digging up now) have both the happiest people on the planet AND pay the highest percentage in tax.
