When was the last time you took vacation?
Did you check your inbox and your voice mail?
Did you take a work call on a cruise in the Mediterranean?
Did you feel overloaded when you left and more stressed when you came back?
Do you feel like there’s so much information that you can’t possibly keep up?
Do you cringe every time your friend says ‘did you see that post/click on that link/read that book?
Maybe you need an Information Vacation.
What items are you most likely to forget?
Your power cord? Underoos? A toothbrush?
Have you traveled all day without hangry snacks and wanted to fight someone for their peanuts?
Stop wingin’ it and use a list.
I took my first vacation in 1.5 years in September to celebrate my 40th birthday.
I know…I know…the Work Well and Play More gal hasn’t been on vacay?
Start a business, then you’ll know why!
Next time you combine work and play, have a plan going in when you will work and how you will handle emergencies.
Here’s how I Pomodoro’ed my vacation, didn’t get behind and came back to calm.
