Vacations...

7/2/2015

It seems to me like the one way to make sure you are busier than humanly possible is to try and go on vacation.  Especially if you have anything else going on at the time.  Take today for example.  Went to work, came home, finished up a couple of assignments and once I hit post on this bad boy.  I can finally begin packing. You know, it must just be the finite deadline that isn't there all that often in my daily/weekly routine.  If something doesn't get done, no big deal, we can just do that tomorrow.  Ah, the sweet, sweet sound of the procrastinators creed.  Vacation time though, there is no tomorrow, well there is, but in this case tomorrow is filled with hitting the road, or making the airport on time.  Did I remember to pack fill-in-the-blank item that I use and need daily?  It's enough to make a person not want to go on vacation almost.  Almost.

You know what is worth it about vacation?  You break your routine.  You can remember that not everything is about did X get done today?  There is time to relax.  You get to forget that you would be in the middle of another pointless meeting, or doing the same tasks over and over and over again.  Instead you can sit by a pool, walk along a beach or trail, or any of a hundred other little things that you always seem too busy for at home.  And maybe, just maybe, you'll remember to bring home souvenirs this time.
