Took a hike during a work call and it was a game changer

I was on a long conference call and decided to walk the nearby pine ridge trail. The fresh air made me focus better and I actually contributed more. Now I try to do this once a week. It's helped me deal with work stress a lot.

At Riverside Park, my dog pulled me into a creek during a Zoom meeting.

Riverside Park has those steep banks by the creek, my golden retriever dragged me in once. ALWAYS keep a firm grip on the leash when you're on video, dogs sense distractions. I learned to mute myself before walking the dog during meetings, saves embarrassment. Keep an old towel by your back door for quick cleanups, it's a game changer. Now I scout the route ahead of time if I have to take a call outside.

Feel your pain with the creek mishap. My lab once tried to join a call from a mud puddle. Scouting the route first is the only way to go now.
