Planning a staycation isn’t just the “poor man’s” vacation. It is an opportunity to relax, but also spend some time enjoying the city that you live in. Here are a few tips for planning the perfect staycation in your Sherman Oaks apartment.

Do nothing: spend a day and just lounge around your house and do not leave. Staycations are for relaxing and taking a break from life, so do nothing for a day.

Try something new: the best part about being on a traditional vacation is that you are forced to try new things. So get out of your comfort zone and try something new on your staycation.

Set staycation goals: have an idea of what you want to accomplish on your staycation—is it to rest, or to see the city or simply to have fun with the kids? Then plan your itinerary around those goals.
