Have you ever had days when you felt extremely reluctant to do anything? Have there been times when, despite your efforts, you just couldn’t focus on the tasks you were responsible for? Have you ever felt disturbed by the time passing uselessly, even though you know how valuable it is? When I experience a lack of focus and feel disturbed by my mood but can’t do anything, I realize that it’s time for me to gain “new experiences.” Understanding yourself and knowing your habits is really important; to take advantage of this self-awareness, I plan my vacation time in advance and make arrangements with my wife early. The truth is, I am writing these lines right now from a small island country on the other side of the world—Sri Lanka.
