Travel Days are not for Real Work

handwritten page

I am useless on airplanes to airports. Before a trip I tell myself, “bring a book”, “work on this project on your computer” etc. But as soon as I get to the airport or plane my energy is depleted, gone.

It doesnt matter if I have lounge access, or if I’m sitting in business class with a little extra leg room, I have no energy for deep/real work.

And I have had to accept that regardless of what I think before hand, those travel days are “dead days”. And I should never plan on getting real work done.
