Having used Claude Code at work and for personal projects these past 8 months, I can see the attraction to keep going till your session cap is hit. I've used Claude for professional work coding, unit testing, personal projects in languages I haven't learned; completed work I had on the back burner for a number of years. I learned early on to take time for myself and this is no different. One must get out and run, swim, bike, weights, whatever but get your mind out of the computer and work and do some human necessary things besides just eating, pooping and sleeping. We need time to bond with our loved ones, parents, siblings and yes even coworkers. Until we as individuals take that time and leave the obsession (for a while), yes we will spend more and more time getting things done with AI. It's like any addiction. The dopamine hit is very powerful and we do need to reset our mind and rest and form long term memories as well as what my mom always said (take time to smell the roses).
