10 Signs You Desperately Need a Vacation

Burnt out? Brain fog? Irritated with everyone? These are the top signs you need a vacation—how many are you guilty of?

Believe it or not, there have been 87 days in 2025 so far, with roughly 62 workdays.  How many days do you have to work before you “need” a vacation?  And come on, you can’t just say ONE?!?!

According to a new survey, these are the “top signs people need a vacation” . . .

1.  Feeling burnt out.

2.  Daydreaming about a trip.

3.  Getting irritated with others.  (More than usual, at least.)

4.  Feeling fatigued no matter how much you sleep.

5.  Having low energy, even on weekends.

6.  Feeling brain fog.

7.  Completely forgetting tasks.

8.  Misplacing items.

Aren’t these starting to sound like the symptoms from some drug commercial.  “Are you feeling burnt out . . . fatigued . . . and low-energy?  Are you experiencing brain fog . . . forgetting tasks . . . misplacing items?  ASK YOUR DOCTOR about Zapravid!”

9.  Making mistakes at work.

10.  Checking emails even when you’re off the clock.

If that isn’t relatable enough, the survey also has a list of the 10 “most forgotten items when packing for a trip.”

The most common response was:  Phone charger.

Toothbrush and toothpaste is second, followed by headphones / earbuds . . . sunglasses . . . sunscreen . . . body care products . . . power adapter . . . hairbrush . . . skincare products . . . and hand sanitizer.
