How to Take Time Off Without Inconveniencing Your Team

▤ Summary

If you aren’t planning appropriately or considering your team, though, your relaxing getaway may turn sour when returning to the workplace. If you use collaboration software, such as Slack or Basecamp, to stay in touch with a remote team, make sure you also announce your break there. That way, people who email you expecting a fast reply aren’t caught off guard when you do not respond for a week. Make sure you are utilizing your time away by resting, clearing your head of stresses that may have piled up, and satisfying any other needs you may have. A meta-study published in the Journal of American Medicine found meditation to be an effective tactic for easing anxiety and reducing stress.
