[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use some of my leave from work on me. So once every other month (ideally), I take a day off and do things like a haircut or doctors appt but then spend the afternoon doing whatever I want. It helps keep on top of admin stuff and helps with burnout. Also, friends. The kids won’t be here forever so I work hard to keep my friends so that I have my own life (now and when I am an empty nester).[/quote] +1. This is the answer. [/quote] +2 I was so burnt out that I took all Fridays in October off from work and it helped way more than I anticipated it would. You have leave for a reason and "demanding" jobs or no, you need time off. Ultimately, people who can step away and recover are usually more productive overall, because they have more to give. You can't pour from an empty cup.[/quote]
