Welcome back to another episode of "Inside The Comfort Zone With Adam Kawalec." Today we have an episode that explores the paradox of taking time off and how when taking a vacation you end up coming back to work now feeling even MORE disinterested. We also talk about what to do instead so that you might actually WANT to come back to work. In this raw and honest conversation, we explore the idea of sabbaticals, the benefits of rest and relaxation, and the societal pressures surrounding work and productivity. So, if you've ever been afraid to take time off or struggle with coming back to work after been away on vacation, this episode is for you.
