Truth be told, I think I’m experiencing major burnout. I haven’t taken even a weeks worth of vacation this year. And I think it’s taking a toll on me. Most times I feel like I can ignore it and I feel okay enough, and other times I feel a sense of desperation weighing on me. It feels like suffocation. And then it releases in a few days and I feel like it was just something I had to push past and continue advancing through my days and weeks.
@JiPp3R I'm self-employed and have been for a lot of years. The only times I've ever taken more than a week off in a year has been due to the death of a family member. Most of my yearly 'vacations' are long weekend trips near a federal holiday, taking Fri. and Monday, maybe Tuesday off, depending on what day the holiday falls.
@MakerWerks That’s rough. Self-employment is a double-edged sword in that way. High reward but costly in other ways. Besides the self-employment, that’s how mine tends to line up. My vacation days tend to be used up for federal holidays to travel.
