If you have been feeling burnt out at work recently, then you might be considering taking an extended vacation. Moreover, you should definitely do it! Studies that have been done over the years have shown that vacations are great for both the mind and body. They allow you to rest and relax, and they ultimately end up making you more productive when you go back to work. It’s why you shouldn’t allow any of your vacation time to go unused if you are lucky enough to have a job that allows you to take breaks throughout the course of a year.
But how long should your next vacation be? There has been a lot of debate about that question, because there are some people who think that taking a series of short 3 or 4-day vacations over a year is the best way to go. There are others who think that taking a 14-day vacation is the best use of their vacation time. However, according to a study done in Finland in 2015, the right answer probably falls somewhere in between those two time frames. The study, according to Inc., suggested that an 8-day vacation is considered ideal by most people and provides the most benefits.
The truth is that the “ideal” vacation length varies depending on your personal preferences. But if you think about it, eight days is pretty perfect. It allows you just enough time to escape the office and get away for a while without providing you with too much time off, which could make it incredibly difficult for you to get back into the swing of things once it’s time to go back to work. It accounts for the day or two you will need to get accommodated to vacation life as well as the day or two at the end of your vacation that you typically use to start getting back into work mode again.
