Did your return from vacation have a real impact on your productivity / motivation?

Of course yes! Taking vacation time is essential to survival. Time off from work is integral to well-being, sustained productivity, and motivation. Going on vacation makes you feel more present.

I will be taking a week's break and I am looking forward to see how that helps with my productivity and motivation. My initial expectation is that this break will help me have a clear head with new ideas which will improve my performance.

I took a vacation and spent it at the dacha, gardening) This kind of physical activity clears the mind and helps to switch it up. That's why you should take a break every two months, I think.

Vacation really save my brain and is very crucial to mental health!

I just got back from a 7th week sabbatical. 7th Week Sabbatical? You work six weeks and take one week off. I feel like a new man. I attended a three day conference and did a one day health intensive. The biggest benefit is new clarity on some things I’ve been thinking about. The other thing I noticed today is that I’m more focused on what matters and I don’t feel anxiety about all the other stuff.

Your environment can play a huge role in your performance. Going on a vacation and immersing yourself in new surroundings and cultures can open your mind and forever change the way you view the world. I take regular breaks and go on trips to refreshen my mind.

Yes, definitely it has a huge impact! Firstly - motivation, somehow I start to miss daily tasks and the feeling of satisfaction when I fulfill them... Then, surely it reflects on the productivity as I charge my batteries! :D ^_^

Having a break from work definitely improves my productivity and motivation. I always end up coming back to work with so much energy, even if I'm just away for a long weekend.

Best motivation & productivity for me :)

Free always positively affects the performance of our employees.
