Workation - nice or stupid? (imagevars.gulfnews.com)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have recently received several ads on LinkedIn regarding workation. I am not sure if I think it sounds stupid or not.

I get the appeal of going south (I am from Denmark, we just had the most rainy summer ever recorded) and enjoy the weather, but at the same time it sounds like the perfect way to not enjoy your time abroad.

I work in a position where I could easily ask to work remote for a week or two, thus the targeting ad is correct that I am in the segment.

Any thoughts, experience or opinion on this?

See it never works out that way. My experience has been that I'm stuck working more than I am vacationing, and when I'm not working, I'm thinking about work the whole time. It also means I'm not doing the same level of focused work as I can at home. I have hardcore ADHD and introducing more distractions is something I have to personally steer away from. So I'm either in (fully on a vacation) or I'm out (fully working in my own space). There's no in between.
