Good for you, and maybe you're an outlier, but everything we know about work tells us that this is counterproductive.
It's good for productivity, health, and well-being if people get to disconnect completely from work. As a company, it doesn't even make sense to have people work like you do, because they are more creative and productive if they do take time off.
One study reported on here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/tanyamohn/2014/02/28/take-a-vacation-its-good-for-productivity-and-the-economy-according-to-a-new-study/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/tanyamohn/2014/02/28/take-a-vaca... – and there are plenty of similar results elsewhere.
But, by all means, if this is how you enjoy life then go right ahead. I and many other people wouldn't like that lifestyle though.
- daxfohl 11y agoThe odd thing is, I don't see how someone can disconnect completely from work for just a week or two. I recently took a two-week trip to BC and even ditched my laptop for the 2nd week, but nonetheless was thinking about work a good portion of that time.
