Getting back to the routine
(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - Yesterday I mentioned staying organized while traveling. And now it’s back to the usual routines. Sort of.
It takes a day or two to get back into the swing. I have to catch up on email, regular mail, and all the other paperwork that running a business entails. And I’ll need to unpack, process my receipts, and follow up with all of the people I met.
I need to pick up where I left off with projects, things that I couldn’t attend to when I was gone. And that means sitting down for a few minutes and remembering where I was the last time. Switching gears is sometimes where we lose a lot of traction. Where did I leave off…?
I tend to feel out of sorts for a bit, but that could just be me. I don’t do a ton of traveling and I rely heavily on routine to keep myself organized. And sane.
Does it seem to take a bit of effort to get back on track after you’ve been traveling? Or do you jump right back in with little down time?

I know exactly what you mean! It takes me a day or two to get back into the swing of things.

Definitely. If I can unpack quickly, that actually helps somewhat.
