If you are one of those people who are able to go on
holidays and forget about everything then I think you are a lucky one.
I have never been able to take more than a couple of days
off and even when I have did this I wasn’t relaxed, I have always been somehow connected with my work, with the
clients who always tried to reach me etc. After I have graduated from
university I have been transferring from one company to the other not staying
long enough to be able to ask for a longer vacation.
After I have finally settled for a stable job, It was for a
small company where if I was gone there wasn’t anybody to substitute me. So I
have always taken one or two days usually before or after weekends. These is not enough time to disconnect and try
to relax, after returning from a few days of free time you cannot say that you
have been disconnected from work and fully enjoyed a vacation because by the
time you have use to the vacation you have to go back to work.
Now since I have my own business I have the same issue, I do
not have time to take vacations and if I would take a long vacation, during
this time I would be paid. Of course I am looking to solve this issue because
in my opinion our life should be balanced we need to have a equilibrium between
the things we are doing.
