Business travel isn’t part of your job. It’s a lifestyle.™
By the time I got off the plane at almost 1:00pm EST, I felt like someone had taken a hammer to my head while there was a wild animal eating its way out of my stomach, and, of course, I was supposed to drive directly to work at a site visit with my manager. In that moment, I knew that if I was going to survive in this business, I had to get it together. My travel, my nutrition, my exercise, my sleep, and my work had to be very focused.. There could be no more Marcey-induced spontaneity if I was going to have any hope to not end up a fat, frazzled business traveler that looked ten years older than I was, and burned out after two years on the road.
It’s 11:30pm.
I’ve been staring at my computer for five hours, with no break except to fix dinner and eat in front of my screen.
I get up again at 3:30am and bust out another three hours.

Why use your brainspace? Can it.

How the little things you do can help you make decisions.
Do you let your car run out of gas before you fuel it?
Do you wait until the drip in your faucet becomes a flood in your kitchen before calling for help?
Do you let your physical mail pile up until there are 100 envelopes sitting on your counter before you open them?
Then why do you treat yourself this way?
You start work early and end work late.
You answer calls at all hours and even on weekends.
Wait….there’s an end to my work day when I work remotely?
