Scheduled an immediate week off with no regard for current work in progress, and during that week forbade myself from any thoughts of work. Each day I felt a little bit better, and by the time I got back I was in the right frame of mind to continue working.
Few disclaimers though:
- My company puts high emphasis on mental health, so I recognize that I have the "luxury" of being able to immediately take vacation time without warning, something not practical for everyone.
- The last two jobs I had quit was due to burnout, and I didn't want to make that mistake again. So my vacation was a bit preemptive, in that I was noticing signs of burnout and decided to take action before I hit the point of no return.
