when the thesis is done, i will work only 8-hour days. i will also take a day off, every week. this will not be so hard, because it is difficult to be productive during the summertime.
(i strongly suspect that i alread work 8-hour days, probably shorter,
but let's not dwell on this.)
when the thesis is done, i will set aside some 2 or 3 weeks for holiday. this will be a time of great confusion.
you see, the cause will be "what do i do now?"
instead of the usual "why doesn't my proof work?"
or "did i write this? this is cr@p!"
when the thesis is done, i will kill another small tree, print out many papers and preprints, and start reading them. i will learn to be curious again, instead of tired and apathetic.
when the thesis is done, i will start talking math with others again, and this will be mathematics that have little or nothing to do with my thesis. i will branch out and learn new things in the easiest way possible:
make people teach them to me,
and bug them with questions until i understand.
