My role has been largely operational over the past 2 years, which has been difficult. Prior to that I was doing a lot of design and builds. Recently, I've been given an opportunity to do a lot more design and strategy work. I'm hopeful that this will help. Still, I spend a great deal of time contemplating abandoning technology completely...I know I'd have a hard time doing that for sure. I've spent a few lunch hours taking a walk, or reading and you are right, it really does make a huge difference. Thanks for the reminder to un-plug once in a while. Good advice.

In a career change into more of a development role, I found that my creativity was flexed moreso than in my previous position (where retention of all that knowledge threatened to hurt). I'd suggest talking a walk mid-day. Miraculous, especially if you can get out of the building. A former network guy myself, it sounds like you need to unplug a bit.
