One of the greatest? Better overall well-being, which then contributes to better productivity. The occasional vacation has also been associated with decreased risks of heart attacks and depression, and even improved brain health. It’s true: the shortest of getaways can work as a wondrous relaxant, significantly ebbing stress levels, invigorating both the mind and spirit.
