Few things in life feel better than clocking out, turning on your Out of Office email responder, and knowing you’re taking time off work. Whether it’s a luxurious vacation or laidback staycation, taking time off is good for your health and your company, but many of us (especially Americans) are reluctant to take those days off – even when they’re paid!

This week, we get into:

- the reasons we’re afraid to take time off from work

- why it’s important for your well-being (and productivity)

- the pros and cons of unlimited time off policies

- how to reduce anxiety around taking days off

- building in time off as a solopreneur

- & so much more!
