Narrative:

Pilot-induced deviation from ATC taxi clearance at ZZZ.while leaving spot xx our taxi clearance was B K Z for runway xxl. I inadvertently turned right onto B instead of turning left. We realized our mistake once we were approaching G and ground advised us to turn right on F; right gx to hold short of G.there was no traffic conflict or safety of flight issues during our taxi. We should have contacted ground a bit sooner once we realized the mistake. Ground advised us to phone them due to a possible pilot deviation. Upon block in at ZZZ1 I phoned them and spoke with person X. He advised us to not worry about this event and nothing will come of it. I apologized and thanked him.contributing factors:we were stuck at the ramp for an excessive amount of time due to other departing traffic. This created a time constraint for us as we wanted to complete the turn flight on time. I was in a hurry to get to the west side of ZZZ and didn't follow the correct taxi route.ground control will often say turn left or right when we are initially cleared from a spot. They didn't do this today. They seem like they are now overworked; often covering both sides of the airport and sometimes with both ground and tower being worked by one controller.we are all concerned about the current depressed state of the aviation industry and this also causes a distraction on the job.
