Back in my corporate days, I was always perturbed at the number of people who would chain themselves to their desks from arrival to departure. I plead guilty - I remember those days early on when it hit me late in the afternoon that I'd been too absorbed to "wash my hands" for hours. Through both third person observation and personal experience, I eventually made it a mandatory rule to take at least a 20 minute break from my desk, leave all my devices behind (it can be done) and depart the building: to get lunch, run an errand, or just take a walk around the block. I even managed to convince a few of my supervisors to do the same, with universal gratitude.
With the transference of office duties to personal spaces, that impetus may become even stronger. Resist it: give your brain the rest it needs. Now that I work from home, I schedule my working hours to allow me at least 30 minutes sometime between 12:30 and 2:30. Now I usually keep my phone with me: in my field, clients expect immediate access during much of the day, emergencies may occur, and the best VAs should be able to respond immediately or nearly so. But I still allot myself that time to turn off, focus on something else - great time to check in on that social media you've had blocked.
Your work flow, and your overall well being, are only improved if you don't stretch them too thin. Pace yourself.
