I haven’t taken any day off this year. Due to Covid-19, I’ve cancelled my March trip and have been working from home since March. If not going anywhere, why waste vacation days to stay at home? Yet the good news is that many of the physical events have moved online and become free. I came across LiveWorX (tech) and Data Summit and thought they seemed interesting. I shared them with some friends, colleagues, and joined the virtual events.
To me, participating in different activities is beneficial beyond immediate learning and opens door to diverse thinking and expression. It’s also an ‘active’ rest. Even if we feel not gaining anything or wonder if it’s a waste of time, sometimes things click later or at the very least, we learned what not to do/ can think of better way to do so.
Change it up sometimes to recharge, relax, and refresh our mind and body!
