Tell HN: Take vacation
Let's see if I can cover this entire comment thread in one comment.<p>Taking a break is good for most people. It can help prevent burnout.<p>People vary greatly in their ability to take vacation due to income, work and family requirements.<p>People vary even more in what they consider to be a good vacation. Some people like a lot of activity. Some people like lying around. Some people honestly don't like taking time off work. All of these are OK as long you do what works for you.<p>People in the United States get, on average, significantly less vacation time than their European counterparts.<p>Some companies have unlimited vacation policies, but unless the culture is unusually positive, these policies are generally harmful in that they require all vacation to be justified in some way.<p>In other words, there is no way to make a meaningful universal statement about vacation.
