37. Take Your Vacation

We are at another pivot point in this global pandemic and to be most effective, we are going to need to bring our best selves. This means we need to rest. We are doing A LOT right now to manage our careers, our families, and ourselves. Doing this without a break is not sustainable. Vacation may not look the same as it used to, but it gives you an opportunity to recharge and do what you value with your time, so it’s worth it. This episode provides tips to prepare for and take vacation, even in these unusual times, so you can be more engaged and effective at work and home. (In this episode I’ll specifically focus on taking time off from work, but if you want tips on how to rest and why that’s so important, check out episode 9.)
