Come on, unplug for your big summer vacation. Here's how...
Have a plan. Delegate work when you're away from the office. Don't wait until the last minute. Be sure your bases are covered before you head out.
Set your email to "out of office." Create a new message for your voicemail.
Most importantly, hold fast to your resolve. Here's how to really let go when you get where you're going:
1. Bring an old-fashioned camera. DON'T USE YOUR CAMERA PHONE. You'll be too tempted to share. Instagram can wait.
2. Wear a watch. One of the top 3 reasons we use our smartphone is to check the time. WEAR A WATCH! Or forget the time altogether. (When it gets dark, it's tonight.)
3. Set a time to check voice and email. Yes, there may be an urgent message. Shouldn't once a day be enough. YOU'RE ON VACATION!
4. Take a book. Kindle is cheating. Remember, you're unplugging. TAKE A REAL BOOK. That's that squarish thing with pages. Pages are those turny paper things. Take a book. Read. Relax. You're on vacation. DaveT (photo from beach-vacations.net)
