Andrew Smith, vice president of Goldman Sachs & Co. in Tampa, was socially distant before it was cool. The golf enthusiast enjoys leaving his cellphone in the car as he leisurely plays 18 holes, sans cart. In the Florida heat, he says, the sport becomes a physical challenge as well as a mental exercise.
“You get a few hours of reflection and disconnect from the world,” Smith says. “If it's not an email, it's a text message or a social media comment or something like that. And so we're just always in this process of responding [to distractions], and you never really get a chance to turn it off.”
