For one day, throw everything about you and your life out the window, pick something fresh and new to focus on.  The journey will be worth it.  This is easiest done on a Saturday or a Sunday for those with traditional Mon-Fri work schedules.  It gets the best results if you take a vacation day from work to do it.   This way you are less tempted to go find spouses, friends or relatives to side track you because they’ll all be at work!
