Many people take pride in their long hours of work, they feel that working long hours usually translate into more progress. I think they are dead wrong.
Taking a step back from work every now and then is essential, it allows us to disconnect from the details and look out towards the big picture. Disconnecting from work is as important as working long hard hours often, do not hammer yourself for taking time off to relax, think and ponder over how the work is going.
Sometimes when the going gets tough; new ideas are not coming or the bug is not getting fixed, taking a step back might be all you need.
