If you are looking for a good work/life balance, the fact that you leave an average of 11 vacation days on the table (according to CNN Money) could be a bad thing. It might even reduce your productivity level.

Interesting post, Miranda and I like Lyceum's take on self-employed vacation time. My fiance' is one that loves his time off from work and won't settle when it comes to getting vacation time that rightfully his. I think that more vacation time would be needed depending on the job, workflow and work load. If you have a high stress job with a high work load, then certainly more vacation time is needed and should be awarded.

Miranda: As a self-employed solo entrepreneur, I am having "vacation" and working at the same time, all the time! ;) I am from Sweden and here it is common practice (as an employee) to have 3-5 weeks vacation in a row during the summer time. My long-range goal is to create a lifestyle and workflow so I can have several mini-vacations during the year, spreading out the relaxing time so I can charge my batteries on a regular basis and not only at one point in time.
