I can work hard, but I need regular vacations. This is from my experience, your mileage will vary.
I think the trick is to take vacation before burnout feelings. Otherwise, you spend a month just staring into a wall.
If you get vacation a bit more often, then you can do something nice instead (travel is always good; try e.g. scuba diving, wind surfing or hang gliding).
That vacation will probably be a memory for life.
(After writing this, I'm going to go book a vacation for February! It will also give me time to get back into functional programming again, I love that it is becoming popular.)
- benatkin 17y agoYeah, if you let yourself get burnt out, even if you plan fun activities while you're on vacation, the burnout will probably take away from it. I went on a sailboat tour while I was on vacation while feeling burnt out, and I remember alternating between enjoying the ride and feeling sad. I'm glad I helped you remind yourself to book your vacation. :)
