Who you are, exactly.

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

Yeah, I think that that's probably a good idea.

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

I think we're all, fair to say, a little bit addicted to our screens and I think kids as well.

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

So I think, I know I hear people saying,

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

And we've done it ourselves a couple of times where, you know, you can only have your phone, say, five to seven or something.

Brendan O'Connor

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

This is all very well, right?

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

Yeah, that's a great question.

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

Well, I think it's a lot with how you set yourself up before you leave.

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

So trying to get on top of things as much as possible before you leave so that you're not coming back.

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

It's like maybe coming home to a clean house rather than a total mess.

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

And then, yeah, just trying to maybe...

Brendan O'Connor
Why we need holidays

Have nice things to do.
