I’m currently on vacation in the Bahamas and realizing how hard it is to really leave work behind. This is bothering me a lot because it shows how ingrained work has become in my identity.
I’ve been working a VERY demanding project for the last 3-4 months. The kind that takes 12-15 hours a day almost every day. The project reached a milestone on Friday, 6/25 which created an opportunity for a brief break. The days leading up to Friday were filled with anticipation. Looking for a break and thoughts of putting everything behind for a week. Now that I’m there, I keep getting tempted to just “check-in” and see how things are going.
