Day 2 of my vacation, and I’ve decided that I’m not going to do anything work-related. Which seems like a no-brainer, but even though I’m not at the office doing my job, extricating myself from work isn’t quite so simple.
So, I’ve decided:
- No reading work-related books.
- No attending work-related events.
- No work-related Twittering, or following my work Twitter-stream.
- No “catching up” on work-related blogs (which really means frantically bookmarking a whackload of stuff on Delicious and copying it into my Evernote account for “later”).
Off. Everything off. Goddamit.
It’s a little scary, to be honest, because there is still that fear: “what if I miss something?”
But, you know what? I won’t miss anything. Not really. If something comes out in the next 12 days that is really going to be that important or useful, it should still be there when I get back.
Wish me luck.
