Thanks for sharing! I'm sure everyone had been there at some point (or will be) and this would be great advice.

I've been cramming code for the last few years, and my hobbies had been code-related somehow (reading technical books, hacking electronics). In fact you could say I didn't have a life. I didn't go hiking, exercise, get excited about new things. I didn't even play games. True that kind of pushing through did get me to where I am fast, but it's also very unbalanced and risky to my long-term goals.

Again, great sharing.
