How Do You Recharge with Your Time Off Work?!

#1

Reputation offers the coolest perk for their employees called Recharge Days :battery: They were incepted by our employees, for our employees as a day to spend a little extra quality time with family and friends. We had a Recharge Day yesterday (check out the recap post on LinkedIn) and we want to know, if you were to take a vacation day just for yourself, what is the PERFECT way for you to spend your day off?!

I took the day to head up to Milwaukee with my mom! I am in the middle of planning a wedding and it can be hard to balance my work life with all of the things that need to happen for the wedding day. It was a great way to get ahead of all the things that were piling up on my personal to do list so I felt SUPER accomplished!

Lauren, that sounds amazing that your employer would recognize the importance of a recharge day!! I love my mom, and spending time with her catching up sounds wonderful! I am glad you got a lot of things done on this special day. I will definitely be praying that all things fall into the right place for your upcoming wedding. Congratulations in advance! Taking a day to recharge and spend some quiet time with God would be my thing!

I love taking a day off in the middle of the week to do something fun with the kids! Weekdays are usually slower at things like the zoo or museum, but a good old beach day sure does the trick as well!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, Lauren!
I don’t get a lot of free time. If I had an extra day off just for me, I think I would go check out fall foliage with my dogs and watch them play in the leaves or maybe just snuggle in with a good book!

What a great company concept! I would take a day at the spa including a pedicure and manicure, schedule a blow out, do some shopping - the whole nine yards! If we had a beach near by, I wouldn’t mind laying on the beach listening to the ocean with a tasty margarita in my hand!

Having a ‘Recharge Day’ would be so nice to have implemented here at my place of work. This world is a not the easiest to be a part of currently and lots of people are overworked and very stressed out. Most times people don’t do much to ‘recharge’ themselves because finances can be tight.
I choose to use my time off work focusing on the things that bring me joy… Reading, journaling spending time with my children, and I am a new grandma so there is nothing more recharging than the cuddles and pureness from a baby.

I love it when I get time to myself to read, write and explore creative white space. Spending time at a local coffee shop is my favorite spot to bring things that bring me joy and get my creative juices flowing.
