This made me smile. Unwinding is very important. If you work at home, even more so. The wife and I used to watch shows on the laptop before bed. Instead we read. It helps sleep. Granted it's on kindles (individual backlight, convenience) but it helps. Disconnecting is important. Maybe instead of pajamas and breakfast all day, I'd throw in a hike/stroll or a ride in nature. But this did make me smile.

I would definitely add sports. Maybe even some hard stuff, some hill climbing on a bike. Sometimes physical suffering relieves stress.

It confused me because I work from home. Every day for me is "a day at home".

It is a break from the norm, which is the whole point. In your case, it would be a decent, once-in-a-while-spoil-yourself type of breakfast followed by lots of not working and not doing your daily habits.

I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I've been doing something similar for the past 1 month :/ I can't stop, help!!

Warning: the linked article failed to suggest a Dutch Baby, a grave omission indeed. This recipe [0] is my goto, but I only use 2 tablespoons butter and cook for 20-25 minutes instead of the suggested 30-35 minutes (a burnt Dutch Baby is not Good Eats). Serve with cottage cheese, berries, and / or a good sausage. I like bison smokies, but that is just me. [0] http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/dutch-baby-recipe0.html

I wrote this article and you are correct, I have failed this community. Dutch babies are important.

I loved your article! The playful tone is fantastic. And the writing is unique. Thank you!

Now, it's time for me to make breakfast. :)

True in the 90s. Nowadays it's Club Mate.

thought that's a small, german thing

In the US it's an "I read 2600 Magazine and go to HOPE and I have a point to make" thing.

I mean, it tastes good, and it does carry a decent punch in terms of caffeine. But coffee's a lot more convenient, and you spend less time explaining it.
