Crina and Kirsten are on summer break and recommend revisiting one of their favorite episodes: “You Need More Vacations.” Follow their lead, take another listen and plan some refreshing, rejuvenating, reviving, restoring and revitalizing time away from work. Enjoy!
SHOW NOTES
Before our hosts take off on the vacation topic, they consider the advantages of shorter, yet still meaningful breaks in your day. Crina talks about her time with trees, and as usual, Kirsten has her head in a book called Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday, which discusses the benefits of space to your intellectual, physical and spiritual well-being.
The data about vacations very clearly tells us that vacations increase productivity and satisfaction in the workplace. In fact, studies show that even planning your vacation can lift your spirits. And, just an additional 10 hours of vacation can improve performance according to a study by Ernst & Young.
Too many people let cost, pets, concern about work coverage, too much work, fear of being gone from work or home get in the way of what is an uplifting and rejuvenating experience, including the 52% of Americans who do not use all of their vacation. WHAT??!!
Our host end this show with some tips about how to make getting out of and coming back to the workplace easier, a discussion about whether you work while you are on vacation (mostly no) and how to make the most of your time away. So get out there and enjoy!
