If you wanted to go to Spain, Australia, Europe, or any other country/state then pack your bag and go. The reason being is that traveling relieves stress. Travel is the ideal place to test yourself. It pushes people to their limits and gets them outside their comfort zone. You’ll discover how resourceful you are when you’re exposed to new places, people, and experiences. A week of traveling before you start working again is great.

10. Have gratitude

Instead of watching TV on HBO, watch something that you can learn from on youtube. There are many ways of being productive you just need to sacrifice some things. As Daymond John said: “Sacrifice is giving up something of lesser value for something of greater value”.
