LFMK - Vacation

US workers are known to not take vacations, yet the benefits are numerous. In this episode we talk about why vacations are so important for your physical and mental health, as well as a way to increase focus and productivity. As kids, our schools took breaks. It gave students and teachers time to rest. When we get out into the workforce, companies give workers the ability to choose when to take time off, which studies show does not happen enough. We reference an article from Allina Health titled, "Importance of taking a vacation", and Forbes, "Why Taking Vacation Time Could Save Your Life". Thank you for listening.
