TQ: Relaxing

Below is this week's Thursday Question from Mark.

1.After a rough day at the office what is the first thing you do to help unwind?
I'm not consistent, but often times, I'll sit down and check my e-mail. That's a nice break before I start on whatever I need to accomplish at home.

2.If your day has been particularly rough, do you change something about your normal schedule to help ease the stress?
Maybe I will do less when I get home.

3.Do you find that working out helps you to deal with stress better?
No, not really.

4. What do you consider a nice stress free thing to do? Like on a day off or maybe right before going to bed.
Reading a good book. As time permits, I always have some book I'm in the middle of to read before bed (usually fairly fluffy fiction). For a break during the day (or on a “stress free” kind of day), I'll have something else I'd like to read, but requires me to be sharper than something I'd read before bed, that I'll read. The latter may be fiction or non-fiction — I switch back and forth.

Photography is another stress free kind of activity on a day off.
