Discover the art of not working on a plane
You may not be privileged enough to turn left when boarding a plane, but your company certainly values your input. They expect you to have a project-risk update completed before you touch down. With six uninterrupted hours in the air and only three hours of work to do, what could possibly go wrong? No middle seat and no email distractions – the perfect setup, right?
As you settle into your aisle seat, you struggle to fit your laptop and book into the tiny seat pocket. The plane fills up, diminishing your hopes of personal space. You discreetly assess your fellow passengers, silently judging them based on their size and proximity to infants. Eventually, you make room for a couple to squeeze in beside you. It could have been worse.
