You need a vacation every year, but especially when the office is closed and work is when your phone and computer are on at home. Last year, one third of American paid time off went unused on average. Many people have postponed their time off in hopes of a non-Covid vacation, only to have to deal with Delta and Omicron.
People seem to not be completely offline but are never fully online as well. Corporations are realizing that vacations aren’t true vacations when email must be checked and answered every day.
Tip to counter the above.
Hopefully you are working at an organization that values vacation time used with an unplug feature.
Take a vacation not when you are burned out but prior to this state. It will keep your mental equanimity strong and your work productivity high.
