Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋
I have a confession to make. 🫣 A few weeks ago, I took a week of vacation. I didn’t go anywhere fancy, just stayed at home, ran errands, and read my book… but I still checked (and answered) my email and Slack messages multiple times a day. (Preface: I'm not trying to gloat here; I hated that I did this, but it felt so weird not being “productive.”)
Turns out, there's a German word for how I was feeling: freizeitstress, or "stress of free time." Oop! Today's main story gets into why so many of us (especially leaders 👀) struggle to actually switch off during PTO, and how to fix it before your next (well-deserved) vacation.
