“Take ALL the vacation time or PTO you are entitled to. I spent years taking one week a year as vacation and wondering why I was always feeling so stressed.”
“It’s only been within the last seven years that I finally decided I needed to take regular mental health days, so I now try to have at least one day off every five to six weeks (which includes holidays). I still take my regular week off because I schedule all my annual medical appointments for that week — get them all over with at once, making scheduling for the next year much easier.
Also, I’ve found taking a Friday rather than a Monday seems to make it easier to get back into the swing of things the following week.”
