Vacation or Holiday?
Whichever you call it, take it!
The concept of a vacation has been elusive since the start of the pandemic, and I am heartened to hear my friends and clients planning trips for the summer. Dr. Mike shares great scientific research in the video below of all of the benefits we will reap this summer.

Here is research that overachievers need to pay attention to: Vacations improve productivity!
Researcher Mark Rosekind of Alertness Solutions found that the respite effect of a vacation can increase performance by 80%. Additionally, people who take more than 10 vacation days have a 65.4% chance of receiving a raise or bonus.
So, this leads me to a joy-inducing conclusion: Want to be more successful in your work and career? Take vacation!
