The best advice I received this summer was, "there's no such thing as time." I had the entire summer off (well, at least two months; I'm aware there's a full month and a half until Autumn), and going back to work was difficult for me. But since I've been back, I imagine that I'm still on vacation -- with 8-hour commitments to keep during the day. Somehow, realizing that there really isn't such a thing as time has helped me ease back into the reality of 40-hour work weeks, though all of that might seem like a contradiction. At least it helps knowing that I'm waking up early for all of the reasons I want to (like trying out different mascaras - I'm new to make-up, eating a yummy breakfast, paying attention to the sunrise) - and not for reasons I have to (work, work, work). I think that "there's no such thing as time" really means to live life without worries, pressures, and nonsense bullshit. I'm known to succumb to all of those things easily.
By the way, this could very well happen to me (or you) one of these days during my (or your)marathon 'Next Blog' sessions, if I'm (we're) not careful:
Man dies after 50 hours of computer games
South Korean left seat in Internet cafe only to use toilet, take brief naps
