Did you know that more than half of all working Americans do not use all of their allotted vacation time? Collectively, 662 million vacation days are unused each year. Moreover, a majority are “too busy” and skip planning a vacation all together.
Project Time Off, a national awareness campaign, aims to change this. They created the annual National Plan for Vacation Day, and hundreds of organizations participate each year by encouraging a healthy attitude around taking time off from work for vacation time—including setting time aside in the beginning of the year to plan for vacation. They’re continuing this movement to encourage Americans to plan their time off in advance — it happens each year at the end of January. Consider it a New Year's resolution to take your time off this year!
