The lightbulb finally came on when I made time for a recent two-week vacation. Taking time off is critical to recharge your energy levels and increase motivation. Good managers understand this and literally kick you out of the office. Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Indeed. We call this "voluncation" :-)

"I never want a job again" Followed by: "Vox similarly paid me to write this article" Uh...

Step 1: Find something, anything that can be construed as a contradiction. Step 2: Harp on it. Step 3: Win at the internet.

I think I find issue with a hyperbolic title designed to get a rise out of people, followed by a dozen paragraphs describing a brief work history without any substantial self-realisation that ends with a contradiction of the original point. when taken together, it just sounds a bit like whinging.

Plus there are no winners on the internet...
