Rejuvenated

I took Friday off and made my MDW a 4-day weekend. I ended up just doing a staycation here in SF where I enjoyed the weather and ate some great food. I’ve written quite a bit about the long few months to start the year which fed right into quarantine.

Needless to say, it’s been a long first half of the year. My mind and body has been trying to tell me to take some time off and get away from work for a bit. I could sense that I was much more easily irritable, less motivated, and all around just sluggish. It wasn’t fair to myself nor any of my coworkers that had to deal with me.

It’s quite amazing what a few days off can do. I feel refreshed and rejuvenated. My motivation is back and I am ready to do my best to close out Q2 strong in June.

I know this is all temporary though and I can slip back into crazy quarantine work mode at any time so I’m looking to take precautions this time. It all starts with limiting my hours and ensuring I’m being more much efficient with my time. I also plan on taking quite a few vacations this summer even though it may be staying put or only doing a close road trip.

I owe it to myself and the rest of the team.
