Change of scenery

I was pretty tired yesterday and generally had low motivation. I had an early start to the day and I hit a wall at around 4pm. I think we all probably go through something like this once a week most times.

I miss the days of my youth when I used to grind for 12 hours plus a day for multiple weeks at a time without any issue. That doesn’t really work for me anymore. Call it getting older. Or perhaps my tasks nowadays are just a bit more exhaustive.

I’ve had to turn to other means of finding energy and last night I decided to go to a bar and work on some of my planning for the next week. I ended up getting about 3 more hours of productive work in over a couple of beers. I suppose there is some benefit to alcohol after all.

While drinking and getting work done is probably not an ideal pairing for 95% of the situations. I’ll need to remind myself that a good change of scenery to perhaps a cafe or in our office lobby may be a nice way to drum up some energy.
