Throughout the year you are busy with work and obligations, so you can not easily go on vacation. But when you're ready to go on vacation, do you have to go for a longer vacation or a couple of shorter ones?
No matter how you plan to spend your vacation days, it's important that they be used to rest quality and you can continue to work after you return.
A nine-year study published in Psychosomatic Medicine says that people who do not take at least one vacation annually have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
When and how much time should you take? It depends on several factors. How many free days you have, what kind of activity you enjoy, whether you have a large family or not and several other variables. Therefore, there is no perfect formula, but there are several options that everyone should try.
The above study proposes not to use all the rest days at once, but to try to divide them at equal intervals. So, you will always have something to rejoice because all the time you will be waiting for the next vacation.
The best time to plan a holiday is when you feel you will need it. Avoid planning a vacation when you do not feel the need for it at all, or when you think it will harm you in other plans.
