As someone who recharged himself through fancy outdoor sports this article truly resonated with me deeply. I am finally at a point in my life where I feel comfortable taking some rest periods by going on ski trips but I also have a strong desire to “earn” my vacations to be able to truly enjoy them. I grind hard enough at the intellectual problems at my work and side quests that when I hit the gym or ski/hike trips my mind takes a complete rest and recharges. I also don’t feel much guilt because I find myself to be more productive having taken these mini vacations rather than doing a half hearted grind at work.
Right now I am planning a digital nomad cross country trip in Canada where I work during days from coffee shops and drive at night just to explore and see nearby places. This will be a different kind of workation let’s see how it goes.
