6 tips for disconnecting during your vacation

On vacation, you tend to stay glued to your screens, or always have your phone in your hand

Sometimes you end up forgetting to enjoy the moment and forgetting what is real. In Real Life fashion.

Here are some tips for disconnecting during this break

Before leaving

• Of course, don't forget to create the famous absence message on your mailbox, delegating a contact if necessary in your absence.

• In the same vein, if you have a backup in your company who can replace you for certain tasks, it is very practical. This frees up your schedule that will await you upon your return. So think about delegating when the opportunity arises, your return to work will be all the more beneficial 😉

During the trip

• Desynchronize your emails on your phone, delete your work email application during your entire stay, deactivate all notifications

Because you know yourself, it's always hard to resist the pop-up on the screen as soon as a notification appears.

• Even more radical, there is the application OnOff, or only your close relations can contact you. It distinguishes between professional and personal contacts.

There are many others like Moment Freedom, Space, Offtime etc

Indeed, disconnecting is important because it improves sleep and reduces fatigue.

You will return more rested and re-energized to tackle your daily life again.

• Take advantage of your vacation to discover new activities/sports, keep your mind busy and be in a more radical change from your daily life

• No need to rush with productivity on vacation, even if we are often programmed like that in our daily lives with the metro-work-sleep routine.

Let yourself be carried away by the rhythm of the country or culture in which you are evolving.

In Mexico, locals spend a lot of time just sitting on their porches and letting time pass by, for example. Why not take it easy too?

So as the summer holidays approach, do everything in your power to peacefully enjoy your well-deserved break 😉
