I've made it a point to leave my work phone and laptop at my desk during breaks and lunch and I've stopped taking them at my desk. My radio is always on however, that's how dispatch notifies me of an equipment failure. That's the only time I have for personal things, there is always a mountain of work to do...

It was not that way before I took a promotion on a new airplane program in a brand new building.

If I'm at home in the office, very little at all. Maybe at lunch, or before I get started for the day. When I'm on the road, in some remote airplane hangar, I often have nothing but time. I put in minimum 84 hour weeks, with an hour or two bus ride to the hangar in the morning and back home in the evening. That 12 hours in the hangar can range from going full bore all day without a break to full "bored" with absolutely nothing to do as others are working their tasks. In the old days, we would bring a grocery bag full of paperbacks. Today we have computers, so we spend too much time dicking around on the interwebs.
