Take a Vacation!

July 2, 2016

Many of you may be thinking about not taking a vacation this year. But perhaps this Washington Post article will make you think again:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/07/01/take-a-vacation-your-coworkers-will-manage-just-fine-without-you/?hpid=hp_hp-cards_hp-card-posteverything%3Ahomepage%2Fcard

The article says many people skip vacation due to the “indispensability syndrome: A fallacious emotional urge rooted deep in our desire to be wanted and needed“, and that it’s not a healthy thing. It even points out that in some industries it can lead to problems.

And even if that’s not your reason, vacations are important—they give you a chance to step back and take a broader perspective.

So plan a vacation this summer and take it. Cut loose and take some time off!
