How is your sex life on a scale of 1-10, and how do you break free from the work work work cycle, I could use some advice here.

Can only speak from the perspective of a long-term relationship. In my experience, one has to actively schedule it. Else it's one of the first things, which get sacrificed in the daily churn. As a ground rule: quantity over quality. You should do it even if you are too tired or not in the mood. Make an appointment, if necessary.

Uh, first question: None of your business?

I find having some sort of routine and dedicating time for me, rigidly, and sticking to it tends to help break that cycle. It doesn't have to come at the expense of work, but work shouldn't completely dominate your ability to set aside that sort of time to do anything but think about work. Not even ponder on that one bug in the latest feature branch.

For me, as to why I linked the article above, it's morning time. As with all things, YMMV.
