Whoever said, “do a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life” is a dirty liar. Even at the world’s most joyful job, every day isn’t sunshine and rainbows. It’s okay to have bad days. What’s not okay is when your weather forecast for work is continuously full of gloom, doom, and a 50% chance of anxiety in the late afternoon.
Earlier in 2019, burnout was officially classified as a work-related medical diagnosis by the World Health Organization, giving credence to what we already intuited – all work and no play really does make Jack a dull boy. Here’s a helpful hint – if you’re already thinking about vacation, it’s time to start planning one. If you’re on the fence about taking time off, these seven deadly signs might mean you need to book an office getaway soon.
1. Responding to a simple email feels like writing a doctoral thesis
When minuscule tasks start to feel like climbing mountains, you should turn on your email’s vacation responder and climb an actual mountain instead. Nothing will remind you how insignificant an email is than standing on top of a peak as monumental as Mount Kilimanjaro, which looms 19,341 feet above the sprawling Tanzanian savannah.
2. You suspect your office chair is plotting your death
Office chairs are low-key serial killers that should come with a Surgeon General’s warning. They may cause chronic back pain, obesity, high blood pressure, and lead to heart disease. Even though scientists dubbed sitting the new smoking years ago, the average office person still sits 15 hours per day. After your desk chair’s homicide attempt, treat yourself to a trip where sitting is the last thing you do. Find some inner peace at a yoga retreat in Rishikesh, or get your blood flowing by hiking the Western Ghats. With all that exercise, you may long for your lethal chair once more.
