In this brief monologue, the speaker introduces and defines the concept of a "workation," a hybrid approach where professional activities such as work, teaching sessions, webinars, and client meetings are performed while staying in attractive vacation locations. The speaker shares personal experiences of doing workations in Mexico and currently in Arizona, describing the practice as a form of "replanifying" oneself—maintaining productivity while simultaneously enjoying leisure activities. The core idea is that one can fulfill work obligations and still have a rewarding vacation experience, merging the benefits of both worlds.

I wanna introduce you to a concept that I am calling workation. It may already be a word, I don't even know, but I keep doing this thing where I go to these amazing places. Not only am I in a beautiful space, I get my work done. So I might work, I might do sessions, I might teach a class, I might do a webinar, and then when I'm not working, I'm vacationing. I'm going out to enjoy whatever it is in the space that I'm in. I've done it in Mexico a few times. I'm doing it right now in Arizona, and it's like replanifying— is that even a word— yourself while you're also getting your things done. I love the idea of a vacation too, but imagine getting your workout in, doing your classes, seeing your clients, doing what you need to do in addition to having a great time. That is what I'm talking about. Workation, y'all!
