When people ask me,
as a business builder,
as someone in charge
of her own schedule,
when I’m returning
from a vacation,
I tell them
I’ll be back to work
one day AFTER
I truly am.
No one knows
I’m working
that first day.
I don’t schedule meetings
or other tasks
for Day 1.
It is dedicated
to urgent issues,
to tasks that can’t wait,
to catching up
on communications,
to getting maintenance things
done.
Because there WILL
be at least one issue
that can’t wait
one more day.
And tackling that issue
means ignoring everything
and everyone else.
Give yourself an extra day.
You’ll need it.
