Five hours is a hefty chunk of time. And it’s the time I have in the air from Newark to Phoenix. As I have said before, I don’t sleep on a plane. The good news for me is on this particular trip, I am flying solo (well, technically there’s 200 other people on the flight. Plus the crew) without kids. As an added bonus, this is on the return from giving a talk. My work is kinda done.
?
But it also kinda never ends.

I try to use my travel and flight time productively, as you are reading right now. I also use it to hone my slides for talks, read books to (hopefully) make me smarter, and work on my next book (yes, you just got a little teaser that I am writing another book!. If you haven’t read my first one, you probably should go get Permission to Care: Building a Healthcare Culture That Thrives in Chaos. Odds are, based on my sales, you haven’t yet). But on the return flights, I like to revel a bit in the work I have completed and relax with the vast array of entertainment available on flights these days.
?
But I also have these posts to write.

But the newest season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is streaming.

Now would be the time for one of my favorite Larry David gifs of all time:

And so here I am typing instead of laughing. Actually that’s not true. I mind myself hilarious and chortle at my own jokes regularly.
?
At least someone is laughing.

And that’s how I like to approach life: dangle the carrot of something with a little more pleasurable and a little less work…after I get something done. My guess is if you do the same, you’ll feel better when you kick back and enjoy knowing that something, anything, is knocked off that to-do list.
