Vacation and Transition...

I just got back from a 10-day vacation in the Philippines, to be at my brother Vir's wedding, visit relatives and friends, and get some r&r, maybe...

There will be stories about the trip, but first, a thought...

I think people should be forewarned about taking vacations of more than a week at a time. It significantly disrupts the flow things and events, work in particular. (I understand that the real problem here is that one has to return to work... if not, all else is well!)

I'm reading a ton of work emails the day before I go back into the lion's den. Having a hard time following series of events and transactions. Figuring out where I am picking up from and how to catch up.

I think vacation time should be accompanied with "transition time" of maybe at least three days to re-integrate you into the things that you have missed or things that you are responsible for that you now have to take back!

Otherwise, you're just setting yourself up for failure and needing to take more time off due to the aggravation of coming back into chaos.

IT'S A VICIOUS CYCLE.
