Ramit Sethi explains why vacations go downhill: start in an active city, then gradually shift to calmer places, ending at a resort. Around day four, most people stop wanting packed schedules and just want to sleep in.
You're going, this is incredible. And then around day 4, something might shift. Maybe you go, not another early morning, not another packed day. I just want to sleep in on my vacation. Our general rule is that if we're on a long trip, we want to start in a city. We want to end in a resort. In other words, we want to start active, moving around. And then as we go, as we go, eventually we want to get calmer and calmer, more and more relaxed.
