I can relate.
In a previous life, when working in corporate America (in Houston), all I did was make decisions all day long. That was my job as a Director in a Fortune 100 company. I didn't produce anything, reports, etc. Didn't really do any work, just went to meetings and made decisions. Close to the end of the day I was tired as hell, at night totally worn out.
On my time off in one summer, I rebuilt my garage, put a roof on it in the middle of the summer heat, built a rock waterfall for the pool, graded and poured a concrete slab for it (hand mixed all the cement), moved all the materials from the front where it was delivered to the back, carried all the stuff on the roof, did it myself. Point being;
At the end of the day, doing hard physical labor, I was less fatigued from that rather than a day at work sitting on my ass thinking all day.
Note: You really can't appreciate how good a cold beer tastes until you pound in the last nail on your new roof and it's 100+ degrees outside.
