If You Can’t Take a Vacation, Get the Most Out of Minibreaks (hbr.org)

>Research on mood states during different activities indicates that active leisure (e.g., conversation, hobbies and exercise) is associated with more positive mood than passive leisure (e.g., TV, home computer).

Good thing my computer is not a home, that way its considered an active leisure...

Nice try computer nazi!

Anyway to bypass the paywall? tried the usual google trick but it did not work.

Edit: Silly me. Worked in incognito mode.

Additional advice: During the minibreaks, be sure to interview with a company that isn't terrible for your work/life balance.
