Downtime

I need to do more of this:

This was at DevConnections in Orlando this spring. I took an hour out of the few days I was there for downtime, and sat by the pool, trying to relax. I read a little, but really tried to just sit there and organize my thoughts, relax, and let my mind start to wander.

I don’t take enough downtime, but it’s valuable. Surprisingly, some of the best thinking time I’ve had has been while driving to and from the mountains to ski.
