Everyone needs regular breaks. Vacations are important for our productivity. Taking frequent breaks keeps the mind “sharp” and protects us from the dreaded burnout. Health considerations also require us to make room for more physical activity and adequate rest.
But, freelancers typically use one of these excuses–or both–to work without interruptions, until either illness or a nervous breakdown forces us to stop:
“I’m too busy”
“I can’t afford it”
Even if your project schedule and personal life are both full, and even if your income is barely enough to cover your basic necessities, you can and should take a vacation.
What’s a Vacation Anyway?
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “vacation” as:
- a respite or a time of respite from something
- a scheduled period during which activity (as of a court or school) is suspended
- a period spent away from home or business in travel or recreation
