Recharged after Maine and Spain

I’m back home after a much needed two week break. I wasn’t able to escape from work completely but my team was amazing and largely kept me focused on recharging. It’s amazing how much better you feel after some time away.

Things that simply did not sound interesting prior to my trip get me excited again. It sounds almost silly, but I was even having trouble trying to read through interesting newsletter that I normally would love. All of a sudden I feel a lot more excited to get back to work and get back to me.

I’ve struggled with burn out quite a bit in the past and I’m not happy that I let myself get to this point. I should’ve taken some time off earlier in the quarter. It’s been years in progress and I keep letting myself get to this point unfortunately. I know I need to do a better job and I’ll start this quarter.
