[Eldredman 81]

We all look forward to vacations to take a break from our boring routine. It is time to take a rest and do some of our favorite activities. However, vacations also have their own set of disadvantages. Let us see why vacations are important, how to make the most of them and also the disadvantages attached to them.

 

The Importance of Vacations

 

Vacations are important for everybody; a student, a businessman, or even a hockey player. There is a lot of competition these days that has led to immense work pressure on people. Employees these days have long working hours and students need to go to the school, and also require a lot of studying to score well. Businessmen require working day in and day out to set up their business and take it to newer heights. During all this mad rush to accomplish various tasks, it is essential to take a break every once in a while. That is why vacations are of great importance for everyone. They give us the much needed break from our routine, and prepare us to get back to our work with a fresh mind. Working without a break makes us dull and decreases our productivity and happiness. Vacations help in boosting focus and increasing productivity.

 

How to Make the Most of Your Vacation?

 

Vacation time is limited and we must make the most of it. Many people plan a long holiday and then end up tired by the end of it. They seem to need another vacation before they go to work. Others waste away their time sleeping or indulging in useless activities and regret having wasted their vacations. Yet others keep themselves occupied with work and studies only to realize didn’t really take a break from their routine tasks. All these are not a good way to spend your vacations.

 

You must have a balance between these activities. If supposing you have a week-long vacation, it is a good idea to plan a trip for the first three days then take rest for a day, then make a list of the household tasks you need to take care of and complete those. It is also suggested to squeeze in about an hour or two for your work or study for the remaining days after the trip. This is important so that you don’t lose a track of your work and get overwhelmed as you resume after the vacation.

 

When you balance between different things, you feel content as your vacation ends and can concentrate better as you go back to work/school.

 

Disadvantages of Vacations

 

Disrupts Routine: Life is much more sorted when we follow a routine every day. We go to our school/ college/ office at a set time each day and similarly follow a schedule for the other tasks as well. It is easier to manage things this way. Vacations disrupt the schedule and it is difficult to get back to routine after the same.

 

Disturbs Budget: We often plan trips and excursions during vacations and this can disturb our budget. Social media platforms have given rise to such trips. People get inspired to visit various places looking at the pictures posted by their friends and colleagues. Many people plan trips just to show off even if they do not have the budget.

 

Can be a Cause of Boredom: People who do not have company or budget to go out and enjoy often get bored during their vacations. They may even feel lonely and depressed during their vacations.

 

Conclusion

 

While vacations are a good time to relax and rejuvenate these can be troublesome for some particularly those who do not have good company to go out or enough budget to plan a holiday.
