Although cheap airplane tickets and cheap vacation packages often provide the means to take a vacation, all too often vacationers find themselves tethered to their offices via their mobile devices while vacationing.

Vacationers need to consider the fact that they may not be indispensable at work. Employees often worry that work will pile up while they are away. They also sometimes worry about leaving work to others who may not do as good as a job. 57 percent of Americans who earn vacation time do not use it all. About 10 percent say that the unstable job market makes them afraid to take time off.

In today’s connected environment the stimulation from work is addictive to many. It also allows people to deal in a timely manner with personal problems. Disconnecting from the Internet to take a hike or enjoy a sunset may be boring or torture to some.

Vacationers need to be honest with themselves and not add to their stress by not being available to deal with office problems while away if that is a major concern. Alternatively they may want to arrange to have someone check their emails while they are away ...
... and only accept calls from the office if there is an urgent situation that no one at the office can deal with.

Taking vacations makes for better employees. Stepping away from the workplace often helps people envision new solutions to serious work problems. Getting away from work routine refreshes employees’ brains and experts have found that it will make their brains work better.
