3) Harm to Brain Function
It may not come as a surprise to you that your brain needs a vacation too. Taking time off from repetitive and stressful work can help improve your concentration. You can give your mind time to rest, so it will be rejuvenated and ready to work hard again after your vacation. Taking vacation time allows your brain to integrate old and new knowledge and build upon social skills. This enables you to come up with new ideas about how to tackle problems. If you do not allow your brain to rest, you will not be able to focus as well, and your performance at work may suffer. Just as batteries need to be recharged to function at their best, so does your brain. So, if you have a work matter that needs new inspiration, a vacation may be just what you need.
