Look at this poor girl (above) —

She’s tired.

She was in the office ’til 8:30 last night trying to get that cover design ready to show.

Then, she had to be back in the office for this morning’s 9:30am production meeting.

She hasn’t had a vacation (besides a personal day here-and-there) in... How long has it been…? 10 months? Could that be true? she wonders.

This girl needs a vacation!

It also looks like she’s afraid to ask for some time off.

She has all these reasons why she can’t take a vacation:

• There’s too much work to do.

• If I take a vacation, the piles of work that will be waiting for me when I return will be too much!

• What if I go away and they see that they CAN run the place without me? I’ll be in the next round of layoffs.

• My boss won’t think I’m serious about that promotion if I take a real vacation.

• I read somewhere that just 10 vacation hours can increase an employee’s productivity and performance by 12% — Maybe I should mention that when I put in my vacation request.

• Maybe I can take a vacation if I check my email while I’m away.

• How many vacation days do I even have, anyway?
  

Stop letting your vacation days sit unused on the calendar.
