Summer has begun and it’s time to use that PTO you’ve been storing away, to take a well-deserved break. I know what you’re thinking, who has the time? As hard as it is to prepare for and recover from your time off, vacations often become more work than they’re worth. Your phone still rings, the plants still grow, and the wheels just keep on turning.
The simple fact is time away from work is vital to your mental and physical well-being. Not only do vacations reduce stress and increase mindfulness, but recent studies have also found vacation time can improve heart health and increase reaction time by up to 40 percent. Researchers have even found that taking 11 or more vacation days per year can increase your likelihood of a raise by up to 30 percent.
