As I mentioned yesterday, I have been traveling for work this week. When I am traveling for work, my first responsibility is to my company. Last-minute meetings, helping out co-workers, whatever it is, I make it my priority.

However, I do have some downtime — on planes, early mornings, late nights. I try to use those periods to catch up on reading (short magazine articles are very good for these short blocs of time), some free writing for future projects, and some planning. Sometimes, I even get a few mihnutes for relaxing in the whirlpool.

The challenge for me is to not overfill my down time when I'm already tired from my work. Even away from home, finding and maintaining balance is a struggle.
