Napa Valley Register columnist Zach Smith poses for a photograph at his home in Napa.
Vacations pose unique challenges for the remote worker, and I am no different. I take days off, but I am never truly “off” — not really.
Whenever I take time off, I try to recharge, but the email app on my phone follows me wherever I go, its little red badge taunting me with the ever-increasing number of messages that I need to return.
Last week, I flew to Hawaii for my wife’s cousin’s wedding. In order to get ahead of the game, I attempted to work on the plane. As an office, the plane is unique for both its frustrations and its opportunities. In few other places am I able to focus so singularly on a task – something about the cabin pressure, perhaps.
But the interruptions are legion: unstable WiFi; screaming children; endless announcements. (Does anyone actually apply for a credit card on a plane?!)
Paradoxically, though, I find that the plane is one of the few places where I find I can successfully relax. So long as I am flying through the air to my destination, there is a sensation of productivity strong enough to assuage my anxiety.
People are also reading…
I might be just sitting there in seat 17B, watching "Young Sheldon," mindlessly munching on a very small bag of pretzels, but I am getting something done. I am making ground! And if I am able to bust out the laptop and work at the same time? That’s double productivity points, perhaps even enough productivity points to defray the vacation’s coming productivity losses.
On arrival to Hawaii, though, this sensation of productivity was quickly replaced with a feeling of mounting debt: Not only am I falling behind at work, but, by worrying about work, I am also failing to relax.
I have found, to enjoy leisure time, I must earn it through hard work. That’s how I grew up. If you want to have dessert, you have to finish all your vegetables first.
The problem, though, is that there is no “finishing” email. With endless tasks to complete – endless vegetables to eat – “dessert” is continually deferred. Though Waikiki’s beautiful beaches were right outside our hotel window, they seemed very far away.
Reader, if at this point in the column you are thinking: “Wow, this guy is tightly wound,” or “I can’t believe this guy is publicly complaining about his trip to Hawaii,” or “Must be nice to have a job that you can actually do on a plane,” you are right on all counts.
I hesitate to lay bare my dysfunctional internal reward system, particularly because I feel so fortunate to have the job that I do. But I hazard to think I am not alone in these feelings. While a fixation on productivity is certainly a consequence of my personality, I believe it is also a consequence of the nature of work in 2024.
If you’re always “connected,” can you ever be present?
