How would you spend this week in my shoes?

[BigNov]

I am a senior manager and have the rest of this week off work. I start a promotion next week. If I’m being honest my current job is horrendous, and I could do with some more time off between roles to recharge/destress from it! But that wasn’t possible.

So, what should I do for the rest of week?

My new role is fully remote so staying at home, isn’t really appealing to me (plus neighbours have noisy building work ongoing, I couldn’t relax even if I wanted to stay home).

I feel like I need to make the most of my limited time off to do whatever I want! I was considering a trip to London although the weather isn’t great in London. But I think it would be nice to try and do something that might help me feel more refreshed, although I’m not sure what!

Book yourself in to Nirvana Spa

One day in a city for galleries, shopping etc, one day on a beach for a blustery walk, one day in a forest for peaceful walk and pub lunch!

The weather in London is gorgeous today, hop on a train. Mind you, I can’t work out you saying you could do with more time off but you don’t know what to do with the time you’ve got 🤷‍♀️

I'd do something completely different and find out if there's a 3 day volunteering option somewhere - or a 3 day last minute walking holiday - to see something new and meet new people and gain some perspective.

What's your budget? Can you get abroad? I would maybe look at the weather forecast and cheap flights for Southern Europe with interesting cities and do a mixture of museum/galleries, wandering around and eating nice food, chilling out.

Otherwise, UK break, I would do a mixture of nice places to walk around, either seaside/forest/nature or nice town like York or Brighton and nice food/things to do.
