Staycation Reset

Staycation Reset is a practical, psychologically informed guide to turning time at home into a genuinely restorative break. If you feel overworked, mentally overloaded, or unable to take a traditional vacation, this book shows how to make home feel like a real escape without spending a fortune or leaving town. Riley K. Sutherland explains why staycations often fail to feel refreshing and offers clear, realistic strategies for changing that pattern. Readers will learn how to create psychological distance from work, reduce digital overload, set boundaries around chores and obligations, and build a vacation atmosphere through simple shifts in routine, environment, food, sleep, and activity. The book also explores solo, couples, family, low-budget, rainy-day, mini-break, long-weekend, and full-week staycations, with planning exercises, sample schedules, checklists, and rituals that help signal the start and end of the break. Warm, encouraging, and evidence-informed, Staycation Reset helps readers return to everyday life feeling rested, renewed, and mentally reset.
