In Suzy Struner’s article relating to vacation, she speaks on some ways to avoid your job while on vacation and enjoy your stay. She speaks on the common happening of leaving or forfeiting your vacation days due to the fear of returning to an insurmountable amount of work but she speaks of some ways to reduce this. One of the tips she suggests are taking your email on the go and adding it to a filter where you will prevent business from intruding into your vacation.
Key Takeaways:
- As you may have heard, HuffPost has a solution for the vacation email problem: Before their trip, employees can opt-in to a system that will delete or automatically archive all emails immediately upon receipt. Employees set up an out-of-office email that explains the system, asking people to get back in touch at a later date if they’d like a reply.
- Now, set up an amazing out-of-office reply to let people know you won’t be seeing anything they send while you’re gone
- Remember, all your vacation emails are in your “All Mail” folder, so you can go back and find any especially important ones there if needed.
