Vacation Time In Three, Two, One…

[Dutch Lock Down Day Three Hundred Ninety Six]

GO!

Mostly.

I still need to start a company and talk with an accounting firm and a notary or a lawyer – oh, and return Equinix Metal’s hardware to them – but otherwise, I’m mostly on vacation for the next two weeks.

What will I DO with myself?!?

Chill.

A LOT.

But first the news:

• Petition against King’s Day Fieldlab experiment signed 100,000 times
• Grim atmosphere in De Goorn as police end large street party
• Cabinet discusses coronavirus reopening plan; dates may be postponed by a week

It mostly comes down to maintaining a schedule that I can flip over to work easily. Instead of writing or coding or watching television, I’ll be working, but keeping the same sleep schedule, the same exercise routine, similar eating habits – this is key to stability.

And moving easily back into work after two weeks.

Each day will look something like this:

0500 Rise and Shine!
0700 Morning Rush Hour
0830 Second Breakfast
0900 Morning Fun Time
1030 Morning Walk or Strength Training
1200 Lunch
1300 Afternoon Fun Time
1500 Afternoon Tea
1730 Evening Rush Hour
1900 Dinner
2100 Bed

And what do the Fun Time options include? I’m so glad you asked.
