“Having an extra ‘mental health’ day is great when you need a time out and are starting to feel the stresses of the job.  One day last year, I was able to get an appointment at a completely overbooked spa because I scheduled during the week and was able to just chill out and relax in my own neighborhood for the day.  This year, I was able to extend my vacation by a day, giving me extra time to sightsee instead of feeling pressured to hop back in the car and race home.  It’s great for the unexpected or just to take a step back and remember that we all need a work-like balance.”
