The stories shared in the comments confirm that the current culture of overwork is unsustainable for many professionals. I am currently coordinating with TakeBackYourTime.org to develop resources that help employees assert their right to disconnect.

Staying vacationed does not always mean traveling and expenses - it's a mindset, it's a choice to take a breather, do something with family, have a staycation....just time for YOU and those you love to reconnect and make lasting memories.
Long weekends are NOT vacation - 2 weeks straight is the true "battery re-charger" for overall good health!
Experiences matter so much more than money or things! So why are we workaholics and PTO hoarders?
Life shouldn't always be work; we should also go on vacation to create variety in our lives, promote a stronger emotional well-being, and reduce stress. This would also benefit employers, as happy employees tend to be more profitable.
I'm heading out to the Sunshine State with my most precious cargo in tow- my two kids! I'm looking forward to playing with them, relaxing in the sun and recharging my battery so I can return to work ready to ROCK!!!
Everyone deserves time off
Thanks for having this!!!

Vacations are a necessity, now a luxury. You only get one chance to make memories and quality time with your loved ones
