When was the last time you took a week of vacation?
When was the last time you took a MONTH of vacation?
On the heels of my “time hacking” post yesterday, there were a few comments about needing more than a few minutes of rest.
I cannot express how restorative it is to take two weeks or four weeks (or more!) away from business and work.
I’ve done the two- to four-week thing a number of times:
2008: A friend and I drove 2,000 miles through the interior of Alaska
2013: spent several weeks rafting 225 miles through Grand Canyon
2015: my husband and I rafted 149 miles of the French Broad River
2016: hubs and I drove out to Montana and Wyoming to experience Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks
2017 – 2019: hubs and I sold everything, drove 25,000 miles around the US and Canada exploring anything and everything that caught our attention
2021: four of us kayaked 340 miles across FL and GA from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico on two rivers and swamp.
Getting away from work and business is CRUCIAL. It does a brain and body good long-term.
Where will YOU schedule your next 4-week vacation?
Warmly,
Angie
