I think a lot of it depends on what you do for work. I have friends who can just walk away and don’t have to worry about getting things done ahead or someone covering their workload while they’re gone.
I’m a licensed customs broker. I have to get stuff done ahead for while I’m gone. If I don’t, there will be hell to pay from the bosses. When I was gone for a 3 day diving trip in Lake Huron last summer, I worked 36 hours in the 3 days before I left. At least my dive buddy was driving so I was able to nap a bit in the car on the drive out. It’s just insane.
