Get a job that allows you to 'work' from home.
Also, use simlutors to practice procedures to keep you current with at least some aspects of your flying. It won't help maintain your 'feel' for flying the plane but it will give you the work load you need to tax your brain whilst running through your radio calls and checks. This in turn means you will find returning to flying after a break less taxing as you're still fresh with the non-handling aspects of flying.
I realise there are many people out there who will disagree with this POV but I have found its worked for me very well.
