A few days away taught me something remarkably unsurprising:
The work was still there when I got back.
Tickets waited. Problems waited. Projects waited.
But for a few days, I didn't.
I stopped thinking about work completely. Not because it didn't matter, but because apparently the world could keep turning without my attention for a while.
There's value in discovering that occasionally.
Sometimes stepping away isn't lost productivity.
It's maintenance.
