Sometimes a short trip is all you need to reset.

You don’t have to travel across the country or plan an elaborate vacation. Even spending a weekend somewhere nearby can provide a refreshing change of scenery.

Pack Light

For a short trip, keep things simple.

Bring comfortable clothes, essential toiletries, a charger, and perhaps a book or camera.

The less you bring, the less you have to manage.

Leave Some Time Unplanned

It can be tempting to schedule every hour of a trip, but some of the best experiences happen unexpectedly.

Explore a neighborhood. Visit a local restaurant. Walk through a park.

Give yourself enough flexibility to discover something you didn’t know was there.
