1
Have you ever taken the time off that you thought you needed, enjoyed being away, and still came home feeling drained?
2
For weeks, you've been telling yourself you just need to get through this stretch.
3
And once the deadline passes, once the project is finished, you'll take a break and feel like yourself again.
4
Then you take the break.
5
You sleep a little later, you get some good meals, and there are moments when you do feel better.
6
But toward the end, you realize that you're still tired and you don't feel ready to return.
7
That can be frustrating, especially when you've used vacation days, spent money, and arranged for everything to be covered while you're gone.
8
A break can help you feel better, but you still may be doing some of the things that wore you out in the first place.
9
It's worth looking at what you got a break from and what you were still responsible for.
10
I'm Dr. Tracy Marks, a psychiatrist, and I teach practical neuroscience that helps performers stay sharp under pressure.
11
Today, I'm talking about why a break can leave you feeling better in some ways and still tired in others.
12
Vacations generally do improve well -being.
13
An analysis of 32 studies supports this,
14
finding that people generally felt better during vacation and that some of those benefits continued after they returned to work.
15
The question is what you actually get a break from.
16
When you stop working, some demands disappear immediately.
17
You don't have the morning commute.
18
You aren't sitting through meetings or responding to the usual requests.
19
You may even have more flexibility about how you spend your day, or at least you should.
20
Other demands continue, though, and sometimes come in different forms.
21
Imagine that you're the person at work who coordinates everything.
22
You keep track of what needs to happen.
23
You notice problems early, and you make sure that everyone has what they need.
24
Then you organize a family vacation.
25
You choose the dates, book the place, arrange the transportation, and figure out what everyone wants to do.
26
Once you arrive, you're still checking the time, finding somewhere to eat, and making sure that no one's left behind.
27
You may love being with your family, and you may have really wanted this trip, and you enjoy it.
28
You're also continuing to coordinate, anticipate, and make decisions throughout the day.
29
If you've been wanting a few hours where you can stop keeping track of everything, you may never get those hours.
30
And then by the end of the trip, you've had some wonderful experiences, but very little time when someone else was responsible for what happened next.
31
You can see a similar pattern during time off at home.
32
You finally have a free week, so you use it to get through everything that you've postponed.
33
Appointments, repairs, paperwork, errands.
34
And it may feel good to get those things off your to -do list, but you can finish the week relieved that all those things are done and still tired from doing them.
35
There's another way work can follow you into a break, even when someone else is handling all those practical details.
36
Researchers use the term psychological detachment to describe mentally disengaging from work while you're away.
37
In everyday language, it just means that you're no longer spending
38
that time thinking through work problems or preparing for what you'll do next.
39
A research review drawing on more than 38 ,000 employees linked greater detachment with less exhaustion,
40
better sleep, and a stronger sense of recovery.
41
This doesn't mean that you have to keep work completely out of your mind.
42
You might briefly remember something about a project, but then move on and return to what you were doing.
43
But suppose you sit down to read, then check whether a colleague has answered a question.
44
You find an answer, but now there's another issue.
45
You spend a few minutes thinking about how to handle it.
46
You put down the phone, pick up the book, and then realize you've read the same paragraph three times.
47
You're away from the workplace, but you're still participating in the work.
48
If you're expected to be available, this is a coverage problem that needs to be addressed with people relying on you.
49
If someone is covering you, but you're still checking just out of habit, you'll have to learn to leave routine decisions with them, and that will be an adjustment for you.
50
Recovery does not have to mean lying still.
51
You may assume that if you're drained, you should spend your break doing as little as possible, like never getting out of your pajamas, even though I think that sounds awesome.
52
But the vacation research found that physical activity, along with mentally disengaging from work, was associated with better well -being.
53
So, an active afternoon can still be part of a restorative break.
54
You don't have to rule out a walk or swim just because it takes physical effort.
55
Think about a casual walk with someone you like.
56
You aren't managing an itinerary or trying to hit a fitness goal.
57
You're moving at a comfortable pace and enjoying the conversation.
58
You might come home feeling more settled than when you left.
59
The physical activity piece isn't a reason to push through exhaustion.
60
It's a reason to consider what you would actually enjoy rather than assuming every restorative activity has to be passive.
61
So how do you use this without turning your next day off into another project?
62
I'd start with these three questions.
63
First, what do you want relief from?
64
Think back to a recent break, and even a small one.
65
When did you feel most off -duty?
66
And what was different during that time?
67
Say, I felt much better at the beach is a starting point, but I felt much better when I had no schedule and someone else handled lunch.
68
That gives you something specific you can use.
69
Maybe you just needed a few hours without making decisions, or you enjoyed doing something at your own pace without anyone waiting for you to finish
70
or asking you what time you're going to be done.
71
You may not be able to recreate the whole trip, but you might be able to arrange an afternoon with fewer decisions or fewer interruptions.
72
Second, what needs to be arranged so you can actually have that time?
73
If you organize the whole vacation, you might ask someone else to plan Saturday afternoon.
74
They choose what to do, make the arrangements, and handle the questions.
75
For example, instead of asking someone to book the restaurant you've already researched and chosen, ask them to take care of lunch, including deciding where to go.
76
Agree on any real constraints beforehand, then just let them handle it without running each choice by you.
77
The same idea applies to work.
78
Before your next break, agree on who will handle routine decisions and what, if anything, genuinely requires contacting you.
79
If you still need to approve every decision, then you really don't have complete coverage that will allow you to step away.
80
Now, not everyone can hand off a whole day.
81
Caregiving, money, and workplace expectations can limit your options.
82
Start with a specific request that fits your situation,
83
such as having someone handle dinner from start to finish or cover a defined period without routine check -ins.
84
Choose one change before the break begins.
85
Ask someone else to handle Saturday afternoon's plans so
86
that you can have a few hours when you're not responsible for deciding what's next.
87
Then third, if you feel better during the break, what happens when you return?
88
Suppose you sleep more comfortably while you're away.
89
You enjoy conversations and feel less rushed.
90
Then you return to back -to -back appointments and work that extends into the evening.
91
By Friday, you feel depleted again.
92
In that situation, look at the workload as well as the vacation.
93
You had some relief while you were away, but the demands that were wearing you down are still there.
94
You might need to ask which deadline can move when several priorities compete,
95
or agree on what can wait until morning instead of answering routine requests every single evening.
96
The point is to identify a recurring demand that needs to change rather than relying only on the next vacation.
97
And look at what happens to the work while you're gone.
98
Does someone handle it or does it all wait for you?
99
When I was a medical resident, I called this the punishment you face upon reentry.
100
When you have some say, include the return coverage in your plan.
101
Decide what will be completed in your absence, what can wait, and which priorities come first when you're back.
102
If you supervise other people, help them make those decisions for their time off, too.
103
One caution, persistent fatigue deserves attention beyond vacation planning.
104
If you've been unusually tired for several weeks, don't know why, or it's affecting your daily life,
105
talk with a health care professional rather than assuming that work explains that.
106
For your next break, start with one demand you want relief from
107
and make a specific plan for who will handle it or if it can wait.
108
If you feel better away from work, but quickly become depleted again when you return, include the conditions that you return to in that conversation.
109
You can enjoy the time that you had and still need more support when you come home.
110
Feeling tired afterward doesn't mean that taking the break was a mistake.
111
Thanks for watching today, see you next time.
112
Thank you.
