I sit in-front of a computer screen for 8-10 hours a day developing software. I get very little exercise unless I make specific time for it and often can't stop thinking about work once my "shift" is done. Hell, I was up at 4am because I couldn't stop dreaming about stuff I need to do this week at work.

At times, when deadlines loom and things aren't working I start daydreaming of how awesome it would be to wake up at 6, work my day outside and then go home and not think about work anymore. Not having to wear "business casual" would be nice too.

Labour may be "harder", but what I do seems more stressful overall.

Talk to me again in January after a week of minus 40 though, I very much doubt I'll be dreaming of working outside then.
