Science says you need to take a vacation every two months and that's backed up by science. A very real and professional study was done to figure out how much vacation is needed to actually recover from work stress. The study found that it takes eight days for you to get that full reset, that complete relaxation that you're looking for, but as soon as you go back, it also found that all of that stress will come back in as little as one business week. And depending on how much stress your job brings you, it could actually take less than one work week for all of your pre-vacation stress to come back. So for a lot of people, the next natural thing that they would think is to, well, just take longer vacations. On the surface, that sounds great, but even if you take a two-week long perfect vacation, remember, all of your work stress will be back on your shoulders in five days or less. So, the study found that you need to take multiple short vacations throughout the year to get the maximum benefit. And it found that people that take multiple short vacations have higher energy and greater motivation than those that just take one big whopping vacation. And in doing so, it chops up the intervals of the stress that you feel on a regular basis. And the conclusion of the study is to take a vacation every two months. So please, use your vacation days, and don't let social media make you think that going to the Maldives is the only way that your vacations actually count, because if you do that, you could end up being a person that wastes their vacation time. Americans wasted nearly 800 million days collectively of vacation time. But let me know what you think. Are you a person that just likes taking two or three-week vacations, you can go to some faraway destination and actually enjoy yourself, or do you like taking like a two or three-day trip, somewhere that's maybe a two-hour flight away? Because there is nuance to this study, because not everybody can pack up and take a trip every two months. Some people have to work with their kids' school schedules.
