Sometimes, you need to work until you can't work any more. When we can see our 15 hour workdays turning into our dream, we tend to just keep on trucking. We ignore the signs that we might be working too hard, when stress levels are peaking and all muscles are aching.
Then, all of a sudden, there's a little voice that says, "hey, yeah, you, the workaholic, please, Take A Break!"
But, where do you go to relax when you can't go home, when home is your project?
You find an exit strategy, you get out, get gone, and find a way to let your mind go beyond painting, shelving, and cleaning.

Exit Strategies:
(No, not the amazing electronic German band, the bar!)
Why we love it:
- Great Divide, Raspberry Ale: We don't normally prefer fruity beers. But this one, we love. Not too sweet, and it's super refreshing on a hot summer night.
- The Menu: Everything you wanna know about what beer to order is right there, blueprint style!
2. Laying on the floor, the Mountain's all-time favorite exit strategy
- Stretch
- Cry
- Get a whole new perspective while you stare into the sky (or in our case, a ceiling!)
- If you're lucky, this whole horizontal thing will turn into a catnap.
3. And last but not least, when it's all too much, leave for a day or two.
- Call a friend or relative that lives close-by (not too close,) and take a mini-vacation.
- No close relatives, no problem. Just grab a tent, a flashlight, and a few essentials, get in your car, and start driving. Drive right on outta the city and right into Mother Nature's arms. Have a wonderful night's sleep under the stars.
Ok, now that we've figured some things out, like when to say when!...
We're back to work!
I DO love laying on the floor!
