Sometimes you need to take time out of your day just for yourself, without feeling guilty about it! I'm recently retired and spend literally two hours each morning at my local cafe reading over a couple of pots of tea! I've re-read some of the old stuff and more recent books too. Also a lot about fishing which I've recently taken up again after a long absence! You gotta do something for yourself to make the rest of the time worthwhile, especially when you're working. Not wanting to seem trite, but a month can speed by, so maybe take the time to at least get something special out of your time so far away from family and friends.
