Thanks to all of those forum members who have offered advice in the past. And thanks for giving me a safe place to discuss these things!

I can't agree more. I was a workaholic too. I don't even want to open my email in the morning. Can't explain why this happens.

Me too. My DW says my extreme laziness now is simply a reversion to the mean after years of frenetic workaholic activity.
