Hi Dianne,

Great article! Mini-vacations are crucial, especially for those of us working from home. They help us recharge and get ready to give our best effort towards our work the next week.

If you havn't read The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss yet, check it out! He is a big advocate of taking mini-vactions. However, instead of using weekends for this purpose, he suggests taking a month or even more to take mini-vacations! It's an interesting concept that I aspire to be able to do someday.
