Me? I try to look at what I’m doing and decide why it’s making me so tired/burnt-out. Maybe I should be doing it differently or doing something different.

Aside from that, it’s time alone that resets my machine. Just doing nothing. Meditation is good for this. Concentrates the effort into smaller chunks of time. Hard to do though. I tend to putter in the garden or walk.

And movies. Can’t forget those. Not video, real like theatre movies. Matinees especially.

1. I sit down with a mug of tea and listen to some beautiful opera arias or some Bach’s cell suites.

2. I go to a local ice cream place with my beautiful wife and we sit in big rocking chairs just munching our treats and enjoying the other’s presence and our conversation.

3. In cooler weather I go for long walks.

4. I do a little backyard bird watching.
