Inside Brett Klasko’s World

Returning from a vacation is always tricky…  A good vacation refreshes my mind, but I usually face one of two scenarios when I get back:

1) I’m itching to get back to work now that my mind is clear.

2) I really have to push myself to get anything done.

I usually come back with a mindset closer to #1 as I sometimes come up with my best ideas for the company when away from the office (I guess I think more clearly when I get away from everything).

I returned from Cancun earlier this week and had very productive days Monday and Tuesday, but yesterday and today I’ve been struggling — almost like a delayed vacation hangover.  Maybe it’s the long holiday weekend ahead, but I don’t have any real plans, so there isn’t much for me to get excited about (at least to the point that it would be difficult to do work).

I even tried a Starbucks double shot drink yesterday to no avail, which is rare.  Usually a couple shots of espresso and I’m very attentive for hours.

I’m sure I’m hardly alone with my sluggishness ahead of the weekend, but it’s frustrating when I’m trying to brainstorm for a new business venture and my “creative juices” aren’t cooperating.
