Vacations are important.
There are lots of articles and scientific studies that show that vacations make you healthier, happier and more productive. Vacation even helps you live longer. But soooooo many people seem to think that taking vacation is “slacking” or something to be ashamed of. Others do go away, but never actually unplug and get away from the stresses of work.
Not taking vacation doesn’t mean you’re a harder worker, a better employee or a more dedicated team member. It means you’re not recharging your batteries enough to get to your maximum productivity. It means you’ll be crankier, more likely to get sick and less likely to have a happy home life. All of which translates into a worse employee, not better.
Take your vacation. You deserve it, you’ve earned it and you need it. As someone very wise said, “Nobody ever says on their death bed that they wish they’d spent more time at the office.”

Keeping family members in their homes as they age just makes sense to me. But as a working person, I need information, help and direction to make that happen. So I reach out for those things, through the internet, local resources and friends.
And here’s the catch: the plethora of providers do almost nothing to distinguish themselves. I was having a conversation with a friend about several home care providers I had researched, and their brand names were so similar I couldn’t keep them straight. Their visual images did little to help me out either, and the messaging was so “me, too” I had nothing to grab on to. I think they all use the the same royalty-free mom pictures in their marketing, and when they don’t, their imagery is so corny or of such low quality, I’d be afraid – or at least embarrassed – to leave a loved one there.
I wish all care providers would convey the client experience in a meaningful, engaging way. One that would truly set their service apart and imbed it in my memory. Is that really too much to ask?
