Podcasts about project time off

Vacationing during Covid-19 is very different. So many vacations were canceled early; some because of safety concerns, but still others because of lost income. During this time, many across the country have turned to camping and RV’ing as a safe and affordable alternative - and tons of friends and colleagues have reached out to me to ask for advice.  So tuck yourselves in for a podcast all about vacationing by RV. I’m affectionately calling this episode - TAKE YOUR DAMN VACATION. On today’s episode, I’ll share our family history of RVing, my 3 key messages about traveling the states in a camper, answer some of the most frequently asked questions about travel by RV. But above all, I totally want to encourage you to take your vacation. Only 44 percent of American women use all of their annually allotted vacation time, compared with 48 percent of men according to Project Time Off. Whatever you decide to do for vacation, DO IT SAFELY. For real. Mask up. Wash your hands. And take every precaution possible to stay healthy.  What I’m talking about: According to RV Industry Association, RV sales in some areas during spring of 2020 have sped up 170 percent over the same time period last year. There’s a huge interest in turning to the road and national parks Our family has been to 47 of the 48 lower states, Canada, and 26 national parks (and tons more other monuments, forests, etc.) in our RV. We probably have close to 250 nights in it. The RV adventure started for our family in 2015 by renting a Class C Rv. By 2017 we purchased a Winnebego Class A for our family and committed to spending our vacations RVing for the next few years. My key messages about rving as a way of vacationing. #1 - Really reflect on if you imagine yourself as an RVer.  #2 - Start small.  #3 - Plan in advance. Definitely do your research or reach out to someone to help you plan like my friend Mindy Weber. Mindy specializes in planning road trips with her company Nature Driven Adventures. Totally give her a follow on Instagram. 5. And my Top 5 Frequently Asked Questions about RVing: Is it cheaper than a hotel or airbnb?  Is it hard to drive?  How do I find places to stay? What do you do all day - and do you get tired of being in a small space?  And finally, how do you plan for meals and things like that, particularly during Covid?

Americans work hard, which is great. But the data shows that many of us think that means we should leave vacation time unused which is a loss for you and your family. It is also means lost productivity and less job satisfaction, which is bad news for employers. Today on Destination on the left, Katie Denis and Nicole talk about what gets left on the table and what to do about it. People are losing out on travel and enriching their lives – and the travel industry is losing real dollars. Katie is responsible for the strategic direction and day-to-day management of Project: Time Off. She is also responsible for taking all of her vacation time and encouraging her team to do the same. It is her favorite duty. She spends her time off with her toes in the sand of Grayton Beach, Florida, hiking the Colorado Mountains, or returning home to Cincinnati, Ohio. Katie lives in Alexandria, Virginia with her husband and their two daughters. A full transcript of this episode is available here: http://destinationontheleft.com/katie-denis/

Americans forfeit over 600 million days of vacation time EVERY year, and there are huge economic, cultural and psychological consequences to this. We’re not as creative and productive but we’re also not as happy AND we miss out on countless moments we could have used to connect with our loved ones and ourselves. I loved this conversation and I can’t with to share it with you, but a word of warning: I have a feeling you’ll be booking your next vacation by the time this conversation is done.   Guest Bio Katie Denis is the Chief of Research and Strategy at Project: Time Off, an initiative which aims to shift culture so that taking time off is understood as essential to personal wellbeing, professional success, business performance, and economic expansion.​   Learn more at https://www.projecttimeoff.com/.   Connect with the 60 Mindful Minutes podcast   Web: https://kristenmanieri.com  Email: Kristen@kristenmanieri.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/60MindfulMinutes Instagram: @kristenmanieri_
