No I’m not promoting the culture of burnout work routines. I’m asking the crowd in the back, the ones who fear taking time off for a break—will taking a break be worth your time here?
Before I took an 8-day vacation away from home, I couldn’t take my mind away from how my regular routine would just dissolve into nothing. As if I worked all this time only to get away from everything for a week.
Turns out, that’s not how you take a break.
Breaks are not just for getting away from it all. Breaks—good, intentional ones—are for both self-maintenance and enjoyment.
We’re all here for a limited time. Enjoy a break every once in a while.
