Okay, great: you've finally found the time (and money!) for a vacation. This is no mean feat in these hard economic times, particularly in the United States where people have already been working longer and harder for less and less over the past three decades! Thus it is of paramount importance that your lodgings be as enjoyable as possible, and this means research.

There are many signs that you need a vacation, such as replacing your office chair with a beach towel and asking coworkers to rub your back with sun-tan lotion, but bad jokes aside, the more serious signs should be heeded with at least a few days off from work or a weekend of near-complete abandon.

These are the typical signals of burnout that affect people in many aspects of life other than work: namely, those symptoms that are usually associated with depression.

Many Americans don't sleep enough, so it's no surprise that they don't take enough vacations, either. Of those who do, they tend to take work along with them, such that a "working vacation" is no oxymoron for today's modern managers and ladder-climbing junior associates. Indeed, a good vacation helps promote creativity when we are able to reconnect with our true selves and what better way to rise up in one's career than to come up with great ideas!

Unfortunately, that is at odds with the other great benefit of a vacation, which is that it staves off career burnout.
