[Kowloon]

I am usually itching to get back to work after summer vacation, but not this year. Finding it hard to build the motivation, and have been procrastinating in work like crazy. I'm married, but spent a bit of time alone this summer (weekend break in Rome, short hiking trip in Korea) and am wondering if the solitude is making it tough for me to get back into negotiating, compromising, debating etc. with others.

Anyone else in the same boat? Any suggestions on breaking the funk?

Depends on the country.
In the past after returning to Japan after spending a few weeks in the US,
it was hard to trade individualism for conformity.
