Unplugging

I played 18 today at Gran Coyote. It was a great first experience doing the resort golf thing. The course was brutally difficult. There wasn’t much forgiveness off the tee… no other fairways to hit into. Once you slice or push right, you’re gone. My irons and putting were on point. Unfortunately I completely forgot how to drive the ball and was fighting an awful slice all day. It was frustrating and I wasn’t able to fix it on the range after.

Of course tomorrow I’m going to pick my driver back up and my irons will be all over the place. That’s golf I guess.

On another note, I’m preparing to take a week and half off starting this upcoming Wednesday. I’m already starting to think about which meetings I can take and which I won’t. I just realized today that I’ve completely forgot how to unplug which is obviously a terrible thing.

I think the combination of the pandemic, lack of vacation time and work demand being through the roof has really changed how I view work-life balance. I suspect a lot of other people are in the same boat. This likely doesn’t bode well for us as a society.

Being in Mexico has really opened my eyes a bit. There’s much more of a work to live type feel here, especially being in Playa. I’ll need to find balance again and it starts with my vacation this upcoming week.
