<h3>Disrupt Yourself With Travel</h3>

Traveling wrecks your daily routine, and that's a great thing.

When I left Connecticut for my week-long pilgrimage through New Hampshire, Philly, and finally my new home of Raleigh... I didn't even try to maintain my normal habits.

I let go of my practice routine, my normal diet, sleep schedule, all of it. The people around me would run the show and I'd hang out and enjoy.

In other words, it's a chance to "let go" of all the day-to-day work. Some of this stuff matters - for example, I can't wait to practice drums 4 hours a day as soon as I get set back up - but some of it doesn't.

I've been working many less hours per day, yet getting roughly the same amount of stuff done. 

<h3>The Best Part</h3>

Best of all, my creativity is piqued. I have tons of ideas for things to write, things to play, things to compose. I'm burning to just sit down and finish the final touches of my album so I can release it in October. I can't fucking wait to record a new The Walding Family album in November.

It's all so close. The break, while some might see it as "lazy" or "irresponsible", has been wonderful. The lesson here is: If you, like me, have a hard time relaxing, if you're too ambitious and just feel the constant need to work... A few days of travel is a great way to force it.

The nerdy way to put it is that travel is a "forcing factor" to make you relax. Why not?
