Hi ,

“I want to vacation so long I forget my passwords.” Instagram

Everyone needs a mental reset at times. A chance to clear the clutter out of your head and see things with fresh eyes. It can be tempting to use vacation time as a chance to catch up on a million to-dos that are calling out for attention, but you also need time to relax. Remember, creativity is a form of exhaling, which means you need time to inhale too.
