Tell HN: Take vacation
Let's see if I can cover this entire comment thread in one comment.Taking a break is good for most people. It can help prevent burnout.People vary greatly in their ability to take vacation due to income, work and family requirements.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.People in the United States get, on average, significantly less vacation time than their European counterparts.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.In other words, there is no way to make a meaningful universal statement about vacation.
