Balancing Hyper-Vigilance at Work Without Burning Out

Running a hotel means always being on high alert guest needs, staff coordination, unexpected issues it never really stops. While that sharp attention to detail is essential, I’ve noticed it’s easy to carry that hyper-vigilance into personal time, especially when trying to unwind.

Lately, I’ve been spending more time in the woods (forestry’s my escape), but even there, my brain sometimes stays in “work mode.” Anyone else struggle with this? How do you dial back the constant alertness without losing the edge it gives you professionally? Would love to hear what’s worked for others.
