“Man I need a vacation”- the call of a frustrated co-worker
This is something that we often say out loud. And I do believe that leaving for more than a week at a time provides time to re-charge one’s batteries. Most people usually take one week at most when they go away from their routine.
An alternative to a traditional vacation was presented in a Fast Company article by Joss Whedon: You need a creative shift, not a vacation. It suggests that a change of creative direction could serve to re-charge us.
I believe that the author is correct. I might be so tired of working on a multi-step project that it feels like it has used up all of my energy. So when done, I will attempt a simpler project that is creatively different that will still get my creative juices going BUT offer the mind a shift.
Today’s question is:
“Have you ever taken a ‘creating’ vacation?”
