Summer can be a tough one in the corporate world. Whether it's the pull of the sunshine streaming in through your window, the spritz calling your name or the breeze of lying on a picnic blanket gazing at the trees.
That, my friend, is the power of the 30-second daydream.
A tiny act of joy in the middle of corporate monotony.
Here’s a few things I’d rather be doing than sitting through another calendar sync:
Sipping a spicy margarita on a porch that isn’t mine
Walking aimlessly, phone on Do Not Disturb
Starting a new hobby I’ll abandon in 3 weeks
Fake booking a solo trip to Portugal
Your turn:
What’s your go-to mental escape during a soul-numbing Zoom?
Here’s your permission slip to space out. (I won't tell)
You’re not lazy. You’re keeping your soul alive.
and here's my favorite drink of the moment.
