Prioritize work-life balance
If you’ve been to Paris in August, you know it’s when Parisians escape the city and head on vacations. Their approach to travel isn’t limited to summertime: Parisians prioritize work-life balance year-round. In the US, meanwhile, 46 percent of workers don’t use all their vacation time. Even if Italy isn’t in your plans, making time for yourself and breaking away from your routine is crucial—even a staycation can do the trick!
Embrace it: Work to live; don’t live to work. Finding balance can foster a more optimistic outlook on life (even if your version of balance doesn’t include a month-long escape to Italy!).
