Everything will be fine

I’m headed up to Healdsburg this morning to hang out with my high school friends for the next couple of days. It’s going to be gorgeous and we plan on spending it all outdoors.

For the first time in maybe 8 years of work, I’ve decided to leave my laptop at home while I go on a trip. It’s incredibly weird to think about and even write about it, but I’ve had my work laptop with me nearly on pretty much every trip… just in case.

Inevitably, when I have some downtown or I’m bored, I’ll go through work emails and Slack just to “catch up”. It’s a bad habit and contributes to my burnout.

It’s going to be a weird feeling, but I got a good feeling that everything will be fine at work without me for a couple days.
