How to Make the Most of an Out of Office Vacation
I’ve recently returned from a 5 day vacation out of office. Many of us are familiar with that stinging and painful sensation when you’re mobile phone rings with your boss calling right in the middle of an afternoon nap on the beach.

The primary purpose of taking vacations is to have fun and unwind. Reducing the built up stress is crucial for a healthy professional life. Many times business and office needs require our attention, even on vacation. It has been shown that mixing business and pleasure while on vacation greatly decreases the vacation’s effectiveness in reducing stress. How do we make the most of such a vacation then?

As many things in life having a great out of office vacation is about planning and setting the ground. Here are my suggestions and tips on how to make the most of such a vacation:

#1 Time your vacations to your office lows
It is much easier to enjoy a vacation when everyone else is also out of office. True, most of the times tourist destinations will be packed full with screaming kids but it is always possible to find a more remote site and truly enjoy the peace and quiet with little or no office disturbances.

While some people naturally object to being told when to take their time off it has been shown stress levels decrease greatly when you’re not thinking of what’s going on in the office when you’re not there.

#2 Prepare by closing open ends and tasks due
If you’ve left unfinished and urgent business behind you should naturally expect a phone call. If you’ve planned a vacation be sure to prepare properly and close loose ends.
