I have plenty of PTO to kill and am feeling pretty under the weather this week. It’s a slow week at work by why do I still feel guilty about taking the day off? I still have yet to convince myself to step away from the computer and feel like I need to find work to do.

I took the whole week off! Enjoy your PTO.

Just think about how little your company cares for you. Then extend them the same amount of care.

I think more about how my immediate team cares for me than my company... but I guess because my team actually DOES care, they would want me to take off 👍🏼

Habits don’t change until behaviour changes. You will never start taking the time off you need if... you never start taking the time off. The guilt will reduce (and disappear) over time.

Take off a few days! You deserve it. That is why the company gives you PTO.

Take the week off and work on your mental health. Feeling guilty for taking time off, especially when you are sick, is not normal.

Being a realtor is not what I expected! I was so excited when I joined being younger, but nowadays it's all work and too little time off. It's a bit frustrating because I'm not sure where to go from here. I've been doing this for 5 years now. Any help on what choice to make? I do not have a backup plan.

Is it unethical as realtors working in an office to block chunks of time off for personal reasons? Some of my coworkers stay in their desks for up to 10 hours, but I've taken up the habit of blocking at least 1 hour daily for lunch, breaks, and other issues that may arise. Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?

Hey all I have an opportunity to buy a vacation home as a private sale from my parents (they are buying a new house in that area and need to sell the old one), it is waterfront property in NH 10 minutes from Mt Sunappee. I am concerned that making this purchase may make me a little cash poor in the short term, but still manageable. Would it make more sense to rent out the property through a rental company that included insurance and cleaning or to put it on airbnb?
