During a vacation should be fun and relaxing, find many professionals that stress from work projects and do not try to catch it's worth going. Many even choose not to take a complete rest to avoid additional stress. If you want to get out of the cold this spring, but is not sure how to plan to avoid stress, before and after these tips can help.

1. Make -You before and after the checklists. Three weeks before the holiday, a list of things that need to be fulfilled before departure, dates and the remaining elements of the action that must be filled. This could be ensured that the remaining tasks are completed, important files are updated when they are delegated with customers and work before leaving. Then create a list of things you should do when you return from vacation . This could include such things as checked with the customer, receive reports from his team on all projects and a list of priorities for the new tasks have to. to provide the checklist after the holiday before, but when you come back is best. They are always in work mode at this time, and will be easier to remember what you need to do now, and not when it comes from the vacation mode.

2. Trust your colleagues. If you decide to have to delegate work, while you are away to ensure the smooth running of things in his absence, have a responsible colleague. If you have any ideas about who should handle what, ask your boss for suggestions that could remain on the ongoing projects, while you are away. Once you have decided to determine how much explanation is needed and how long it will take. Explain and show them what to do. If necessary, write a simple check list for them. Make sure that they have contact you to care in an emergency, but they rely on the work. You can ask to send a summary report when you return from vacation, so you know where the ends to tie. Be sure to send a thank you note when you return from vacation, to show them that you appreciate their work.

3. Tidy up your workspace. Take to clean up 15 to 20 minutes and organize your space of work before leaving on vacation on. This includes getting rid of the coffee cups, food and old or research notes. Place pins on it and dust on his desk, lamp and everything else, which is often used. You can even set a new notebook and Post-it for when you return. Your post-vacation-I will thank you when you return from vacation to a clean workplace.

4. Decide whether you are going to work on vacation. Before leaving on vacation, speak to your family or important to work spend the holiday on the other amount of time. You can, it would continue the work easier if you spend some time at work at night or at dawn. Once you decide on a schedule, stick to it. Ask your colleagues to identify your emails to see if something has a high priority, while you are out of town. You can do this to your team members in a general e-mail. Remember - your dates, you will be out of the office, we - to know if everything in the work on the holiday .

5. Create an automatic e - mail if you feel it personally be myself useful it would prefer not to because creating this e -. The messages are sent to people who do not want to. Or choose the information I am subscribed newsletters, and I only receive additional emails in response. I asked my assistant to check my emails, while his place to drive. If not set, a, be aware that you should not give all the details of your trip. And in most cases is not the professional way to handle. Simply write the date out of office you is enough. Attempting to enter the date by one day or two to extend some leeway, followed. Thus, for example, if you are new to the office on March 20, saying something like: "I e-mail from 22 March to respond" This gives you time to get a little back to work and the workflow, without the pressure by all who want to hear from you, also if you decide to offer to them. e - mails vacation that will relieve the pressure, so no one will be waiting to hear from you immediately.
