      Good question! I don't know. I'm headed out on vacation shortly and what I'm noticing is that I'm extra stressed now because I'm working harder to prepare for the time I'll be away. Which seems counter productive to be sure. By the time I am on the vacation I think I'll be more depleted than normal. So will the rest and relaxation of vacation get me back to a state of normal tiredness? Or will it be enough to actually fill the well up a bit, too? I'll let you know when I get home :-)

        Agree with @ShanaNiederman on the importance of front-loading. It's way more relaxing to work ahead a bit than to play a lot of catch-up upon your return. Also: LEAVE. THE. COMPUTER. AT. HOME!
