Do you dread the sound of an emailer, a Slack notification or a ping from Teams when on a vacation? We know it’s never just one email or just one notification and then you end up wasting a whole hour or more giving attention to the stuff you very well wanted a holiday from.
Here are 5 tips to enjoy that much-deserved vacation in peace:
It can all wait for that one week or ten days you’ve taken off from work.
It sounds rather bold but trust us on this. It will take the anxiety that comes with the apps.
Unless you’ve committed your work hours to office on vacation, you shouldn’t be carrying your work laptop or phone on a vacation.
Be it Whatspp or Email or anywhere else, let people know you’re on a vacation and don’t need to be disturbed.
It’s a good practice. Do it. Let people know to not expect a reply for a said number of days from you.
