Since millennials have been at work for a while now, I got to wondering what kinds of career lessons we've all been discovering — so I want to hear from you.

Or maybe you used to be afraid to take time off, but then you experienced a period of burnout. Since then, you've started to schedule regular breaks for yourself so you have time to relax and refresh. You're happier for it, and your work is better too.
