There are many big businesses that encourage employees to take vacations. According to studies those who take vacations are likely to be more productive than those who don't. Working without a break can lead to poor decision making, affect relationships and even make you sick. But once you take a vacation your mind will be refreshed and you can come back with better focus and your productivity will soar. If you are in a job where taking long vacations is not an option, you can even bring your laptop to hotels, meeting rooms at resort properties are ideal to catch up on some work and for video conferencing with your clients, however, make sure you limit it for only a day or two.
