Slow travel for fast calendars
The leaders I work with don't have sabbaticals; they have long weekends and borrowed Wednesdays. The mistake is treating those days like a highlights reel — five cities, no memory of any of them.
One place, done properly
A single base with two well-chosen day trips beats a four-city dash every time. Deeper travel isn't slower by accident — it's how you come back restored rather than needing another holiday.
Build the buffer in
We plan arrival days that ask nothing of you, and we protect the last 24 hours for sleep and admin. Coming back to a demanding calendar starts on the trip, not after it.
