Dog Days of Summer | Take a Step Away

We are entering the official "dog days" of summer, traditionally a time when people take a vacation or a break from work to recharge. Do you have plans to do this?

Unfortunately, not everyone is able to take a week-long trip to the beach, mountains or favorite vacation spot - but perhaps you can take a break another way. Consider what makes you feel recharged. For some, it may be stepping away from work and getting your hands dirty in your yard or garden. Maybe you need to pitch a tent and camp in the great outdoors for a night or two. Others may prefer to meet up with friends for a days-long board game battle.

However you get your batteries recharged, consider taking some time to do that this summer. You, your colleagues and your firm will actually be better for it! Who knows - you may get hit with some creative inspiration while you're away. (Science has proven that being outside stimulates the creative and problem-solving parts of our brains!)
