Here’s an idea: Take a whole week off and just stay where you are. Don’t travel. Don’t fill it with a activities and classes and errands. Just take the time off, with no plans, and see what happens. I tried this for the first time last year, in the second-last week of December. And it was the most glorious thing ever. You see, whenever I took vacations in the past, I’d usually be travelling. Travelling is great, but has its downsides: My days are often so packed with activities and logistics and worries that I’ll miss my flight. So I often don’t have time to really rest, ruminate, and rummage through my mind. When I took that week off last year in Singapore, I spent less time than I expected on indulgent things that I would fantasize about all year, like binging on TV shows and just staring into space. Those got boring after like, half a day....
