After a long and intense trip supporting a trade show, you many times find you are fried or somewhat brain dead. While the experience was positive, it was intense and takes you from the norm, which isn’t always bad.
However, fatigue does set in and getting back to normal isn’t always easy. Case in point is my friend and colleague Peggy Keene of Korry Electronics. PK is a sometime contributor to this space. She has been on the trade show treadmill these past few weeks and when I asked her for some feedback on NBAA, she reported on her Facebook page:
“…is finally home…dazed and confused from too much travel….”
It happens to the best of us. Here are a few notes on how to deal with it:
- Give yourself time to come back to Earth after returning. Usually a day of downtown will help you recover from the time zone differences between Europe and the West Coast of the US.
- Limit the tasks you need to do to the immediate. Put off what you can for a couple of days.
- While you are at the show and on the plane returning, limit your alcohol intake
Preparation before and during the show will limit how tired you are after the show. But we all return to normal pretty quickly.
