reading the book that you’ve been meaning to get to for the last month.
Sometimes we feel obligated to use vacation and paid time off to “catch up” on unfinished business or overdue appointments. This can lead to feeling tired or frustrated because you didn’t enjoy your time with something or someone that you really wanted. It’s okay to use your time off to see that movie or read that book that you’ve been meaning to get to for the last month.
Get ready to plan for fun, relaxation, and adventure during your next day away from work or school.
