Recently, there was a new study that affirmed old studies on vacations. This study confirmed the negative impact that a lack of personal separation from work has on health and productivity.

There is a great amount of unused vacation days in the US workforce on a yearly basis, and more than 60% of Americans still use their computers and phones for business on personal vacations.  Personally, I believe that the nonprofit sector is one of the highest burnout areas of the economy.  One big reason is that it often combines passion, personal life purpose and helping others into one workplace environment.
