How are you going to spend the last official week of summer? Will you savor the still-long days, or stress about the return to reality: back to school, back to a no-nonsense work schedule? | Out of the Box A 2010 study found that the positive effects of vacation fade away, on average, after one month.

And if that’s not a productive use of your time, what is? |
