With the amount of stress and uncertainty we’re currently facing, we’re in desperate need of vacation time. It’s difficult to disconnect while our work and home are both happening in the same place. We can take time off work, but not being able to travel abroad means that we’re staying at home and subject to them the same inputs and distractions as when we’re at work. It requires great effort to separate our work from home. That’s when we land up multitasking our vacation time. In this episode, Daphna shares her personal experience of trying to take a break at home, a staycation, and how to make it work for you.
