Give Yourself a Break
by How to take five from being überbusy chick.
If you always: Get to work early or leave late
You can still be a primo employee by extending just one part of your workday. So pick your “off” time; Work out in the gym in the a.m., or leave early for p.m. shopping or a movie.
If you always: Plan every single girls’ night out
Designate your cruise-director role as rotating one. You can do it one week, but then pass the torch. When you aren’t doing all of that party prep, you’ll be able to kick back and enjoy.
If you always: Jam-pack your schedule
Make a plan to do nothing, even put it in your calendar if you have to. The idea is to stop, drop, and chill out-whether it’s watching a Desperate Housewives marathon or baking cookies.
If you always: Rack up unused vacay days at work
Vow to take a couple of days off each season (instead of bolting for two weeks and feeling stressed when you return). If you factor mini breaks into your calendar, you’ll come back rejuvenated.

You seem to have a few great ideas for such a young individual.
My best time is to give myself a break is when I find a way to throw everyone out of the house for the ENTIRE day.
Great Article
