On holiday? Don't stress!

Can you almost go on holiday?   chance you still do that causes some stress. Because   will you be able to finish those last things?   Does everything run smoothly when you are on holiday?   Are you going to read those emails or not?

Recognizable?   We have a number of tips for you.

1. Give yourself a quiet departure. So don't take on even more work to spare others. State clearly and in time that you can no longer pick up work due to your approaching holiday.
2. In your last week, set aside time for "last minute" things and handover.
3. That transfer, don't do it at the last minute, but a bit more ahead of time. And note in it who your colleagues can turn to for what.
4. Tell your colleagues whether you check your emails or not. Manage expectations in advance, which gives a lot of peace of mind when you are on vacation.
5. Are you turning on an out-of-office reply?   Don't do that at the last minute, but allow yourself some extra time to finish the last things. You can also repeat that trick on your first working day after your holiday. This way you build in peace and space to start relaxed after your holiday.

Ready to go?   Turn that switch, leave work behind and ENJOY!Happy Holidays!
