We shouldn’t be limited to a summer break we should do seasonal breaks instead. I would cover the summer season if someone else would cover my autumn or winter.
Actually, no. Not according to the research. (Which I can’t find right now; just in a quick break.)
Essentially, somewhere (?) had the whole region take vacation at the same time, if possible. (Not essential services and obviously vacation businesses, lol). They found much greater benefits when there’s a large chunk of the population all off at the same time, and makes everyone happier (even those who have to still work).
They think the reasons are twofold:
We’re social creatures, and being able to connect with people meaningfully depends on them also being available at the same time.
When the region is on “vacation”, everyone gets more relaxed/chill, even those who are still working. Basically “vibes”. (They were a lot more technical in the study, lol).
Sorry I can’t link it, but something like “everyone who can be is off from July 15-August 15” would have big societal benefits.
