5 REASONS TO TAKE A WORKATION

Work from home burnout is real, and we know the cure - a Workation! What's a workation? A workation = work + a vacation, and is perfect for those in need of a change of scenery. Taking a workation means traveling during the week and reaping the benefits of lower hotel rates and less crowded attractions, allowing you to get some much-needed decompression. If you are still in need of convincing, check out some of the reasons below to take a workation:

1. Better Work/Life Balance
   
2. No Need to Use PTO
3. Explore a New Place
4. Increase Productivity
5. Increase Creativity

Master Work Life Balance

We all know that work-life balance is important; sometimes that is hard to achieve when we are constantly at home surrounded not only by the responsibilities of our 9-5, but also the ones of our 5-9. Enter Workations. A workation is the perfect balance between work and a vacation thus creating the perfect environment for work-life balance. 

No PTO, No Problem

Although it will feel like you are on vacation, taking a workation means you don’t need to use any paid time off (unless you want to of course). 

Get out and Explore

Being a remote worker means you can work from anywhere, so why not take advantage of it and see something new? During your workation be sure to explore the attractions, local shops and restaurants at your new location to discover hidden gems.

Next Level Productivity

Taking a workation can provide positive benefits to mental health which will in turn increase productivity. Taking a workation gives you a break from the norm allowing for improved mental health that will allow you to focus, decrease errors and overall accomplish more.

Unlock Creativity

Changing your surroundings is a great way to clear your mind and make room for creativity. A workation allows you to see new places, experience new things, and meet new people providing inspiration and igniting creativity.
