Change # 38: Take a big vacation once a year, and mini weekend
vacations throughout the year-even if you are just staying home
Yesterday I did nothing. At least nothing "productive."
I read, went on a bike ride with the kids, played Sorry with them,
took a nap, watched a movie and that's about it.
I felt so good today. I was getting tons done. I just needed
that time out.
I find it hard to believe that people with paid vacation, often
don't even use it. Many think that if they go on vacation they
will have to play catch up when they get back. What they don't
factor in is how good they will feel coming back from vacation.
That's if you take an actual vacation, not hours at Disney World,
see how many cities you can see in two weeks, move, move, move
type of vacation.
If you go on one of those types, make sure you tag on at least
2-3 days at the end to veg out at home.
You don't even have to go anywhere on vacation. You can vacation
at home, taking day trips to the beach or library. As long as
you don't do work.
I saw that commercial where the lady is doing work on her laptop
on a cruise ship. What kind of vacation is that?
And you don't need to wait for a two week vacation to relax.
Try taking a few hours every weekend without an agenda, feeling
free to do what you feel like.
So if you haven't taken a vacation yet, what are you waiting
for?
