There is a specific kind of exhaustion that comes from a corporate stint in a city like Singapore. It’s efficient, it’s fast, and it’s digital. By the time we wrapped up work and headed north to Krabi, I didn’t realise I was carrying the weight of a thousand notifications. We went to Thailand for a beach holiday, but what I got (and didn’t realise I needed until I got home) was a disconnect and mental reset. The Art of Doing Nothing When I travel, I’m that “planning” guy. Spreadsheets and a “let’s make the most of the time” mentality. I’m all about the itinerary. Do this, then do that. We only have a finite amount of time. But the highlights of the trip weren’t found in a spreadsheet. It was about slowing down and the quality time with the family.
