Sports activity
Do not spend a lot of time on computers. I can understand that in designing field, you need to stay updated, create unique designs, ready and learning needs a lot of time. But do not risk your health. Take good care of your eyes, spine and neck. Spend some time in sports. Find out your hobbies and area of interest. Spend some nice time with your friends or go out for a crazy drive. This way, you will find that your working capacity has been increased.

Enjoy your personal life and take a break from your daily schedule. Life is very beautiful with good friends. Go outside, have fun and spend time with your friends. God gifted you a life to live. In your old age, you will only have memories. I am sure you don’t want to keep a count on the hours you spend on computers.
You always want to cherish your schooling life, your first girlfriend and first kiss. Life is much more beautiful then designing.
