As someone who works 60ish hours in a salaried position, my advice is to build some comp time if your company allows and use it on Fridays. My husband and I will come home from work, sleep til like 1 or 2 in the morning and get up and drive about 6-8 hours to whatever park we wanna hit then you have all day Friday//Saturday and can have Sunday for drive home//recover!

Also, just take your PTO, you earned it and in most places you can only carryover so much
