We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Travelling is easier because you don't need to carve time out on a frequent basis - take 3 weeks off, do a few countries in Western Europe or some funky destinations (Maghreb, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, South America). Can easily do this once a year.
Perhaps pick up a mental stimulation habit (like reading non-work stuff on the weekend, learning a new language by yourself) and physical stimulation (football, cricket, golf or running on the weekends) and don't belt yourself if you miss sessions because of work. Slowly, once these become part of your life, you'll be able to adjust work around them (stick around on a Friday night and finish work to save that Saturday coffee and reading session versus go out for drinks on a Friday night and then work through Saturday and miss the session).
