As an ordinary person, from times to times I tend to feel tired and even exhausted as the result of long working days and the pressure that it tends to produce.

That is the case of the vast majority of the workers, nowadays, and it is more visible in the workaholic, which is by definition: a person that lives to work.

Release the Pressure, Go on Vacations

For the workaholic the term "vacation" is profane, prohibited and infamous. I know I am not exaggerating as I, myself was one. Days after days devoted to work, no spare time ever and a lot of cumulative tiredness. All of that effort wasted, just because the workaholic pretends to ignore a simple fact of life: we are humans, not machines and need to rest periodically.

When someone works hard for a long term, the natural result expected is a diminishment of the "power" to produce. Then, someone who needs to go on vacation and doesn’t, is just being less productive than he/she might be.

And the cyclic result is that the person has to work more to reach the goals that otherwise might be achieved in fewer time and with less effort.

Just work out mentally how would you feel if after 12 months of hard work and lot of pressure, then you travel to Malibu, enjoy the sea and the Pacific Beach night life for two weeks.

¿Wouldn’t you work better, happier and feel more productive?
