It is a full time job yes! The key thing is to be disciplined enough to drag yourself away from it properly at night and for periods during the day rather than constantly checking-in.
I wonder how I'm going to cope when I get back to full time work on Monday (that 100% upvote was a 're-sign in accident BTW, it's now happened 3 times this week with various people, when the damn weighting resets itself).
Might have to revert to 'bants' for a few more weeks until I leave.
Edit - I was replying to your reply above! Not this one.
