For those not on twitter and who don't have my blog in their feed reader (shame on you!), here's the blog post I mentioned, http://goo.gl/fb/FviPR
I am going to re-apply some of those principles as I try to correct my own burn-out.
Might take a look too. After 18 months of a two hour each way commute I'm too knackered most nights to crack open a beer.

Man, I couldn't do this. I'm also working 2 hours from home (actually closer to 2.5), but I stay in a hotel during the week to avoid this long drive.

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

I always estimated the cut-off to be about 90 minutes - more than that and you'd not want to do it for more than a few months. But I was wrong, it depends on the job and the folks you're working with. The folks here are great and the job's interesting and demanding. That changes things.
