Technology and Internet access from anywhere in the world have made life easier and allow us to bring the virtual office on our trips, but has completely impaired social and personal life. Opt out of the office in free time is a worker’s right and should be an obligation of your bosses. If you do not understand this, take steps to avoid problems and achieve your personal life separate from work, especially on your vacation.
* Lead by example. Managers and middle management should reflect the habits of employees. There is no possible reconciliation between the working relationship with the company and the holidays if you do not start from the top. If you’re a boss, do not invite your employees on holiday if not to congratulate you on your birthday.
* Sets the holidays to the need for disconnection. The more stress and responsibility at work, need more time off. A holiday week is usually not enough to forget about work, it is preferable to opt for two or more full weeks to rest mentally and physically.
* Do not turn on the computer or mobile company. Leave home and forget to check your emails while on vacation. To avoid problems, leave a message in your mailbox advising you on vacation, the day you go back and contact the person
that can help if it is urgent.
* Plan holiday. Do not take vacation time from one day to another, let stand at least a week you can plan your work and your colleagues can better organize themselves in your absence.
* Delegate tasks. Many times we are stressed because we believe that things go well only if we do personally. Start to trust your teammates and let them small responsibilities so they can replace you when you go on vacation.
* Leave everything organized for a peaceful return. Try to spend the last day to organize your stuff to find everything clean and tidy when you return. The last day of vacation is not the time to make important meetings, we must
review what we’ve done so far and what do you want to change the time back. Sort your table and throwing papers is something simple that can simplify and make more pleasant your turn.
* Remember that nobody is indispensable. Even the heads of government to take holidays off and on again with renewed energy. Even the best surgeon in the world can save a life if not rest enough to cope with the stress of work life and death every day. The humble mortals who play at being superheroes combine work, family, home, friends, etc.. need vacations. Even if you are autonomous and need to work each month to collect, Grab a few days, or plan to take advantage of year periods of less work to rest.
