I know I’m supposed to feel refreshed whenever I’m lucky enough to take a nice long vacation, but instead I feel unmotivated and distracted (even after I’ve been back for a few weeks). Anyone else feel this way when they come back?

Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?
