A brief personal reflection (YouTube video) in which the speaker (Jim Johnson) shares an anecdote from his 12th year at GAF about learning to take vacation time. He explains that vacation is not how he recharges, describes differences in how people recharge, and emphasizes being self-aware and ‘sharpening your saw’ to remain effective at home and work.
Everybody sharpens their. Their sod differently. I remember my 12th year at GAF. They had to teach me how to take vacation time inside the system. I'd never die. I mean, 12. Like, I just. I might have taken off. And even today, I. I just, I. Vacation is not my time to recharge. That's not what I do. And, you know, if my wife is listening to this, she's probably getting frustrated with me because I just. I don't slow down, but I do get recharged. And there are people in times that recharge me. So, again, I don't have the answers to this stuff, but I am keenly aware of what's going on in my life and the importance of sharpening your saw, because otherwise you become completely ineffective, both at home and at work.
