I travel for work a lot, does anyone else feel like they lose context while on the road?

I travel for work a lot, and I’ve noticed that when I’m bouncing between cities, I sometimes feel less on top of things than when I’m working from home. It’s not jet lag or the logistics of travel—it’s more that I lose track of context around meetings, local schedules, holidays, and other details that would normally be easy to keep in my head.

Last week I missed an event because I didn’t realize it was a local holiday, and it made me wonder whether other frequent business travelers run into the same thing.

Is this something you’ve experienced? If so, what tends to trip you up the most?
