202207110131 Taking intellectual recharge vacations

• Most vacations have some social, familial, obligatory purpose.
• There are the days when I don’t do anything, but those feel more hopeless than intentional.

Questions

• Where to go? That’s what people expect.

Notes

• mental retreat day
• in terms of utility, way more useful to have one less day (but be more productive)
• culture of sick days (or PTO days) — people don’t feel comfortable taking days off for mental health. People still call it headaches
• Another idea — happiness day (from Mulan).
• Schedule in a day for this each quarter. TODO: schedule this in at some point.
