Office workers only have holidays and annual leave, and they want to take a good vacation every time they relax their nervous minds at work. At this time, if the boss calls to talk about things at work, the subordinates must be full of helplessness. Why can't they even have a good rest on vacation?
Dave Kerpen, a best-selling author in The New York Times, invited several outstanding entrepreneurs from the Young Entrepreneurs Council to share 13 on Linkedin, so that you can have a pleasant holiday without getting out of touch with company affairs.
The first measure: the email notification is completely closed Elizabeth Sanders (real life e? The founder and current CEO advised employees to close all notifications in their mailboxes during holidays. It is true that the mobile phone is a tool that can handle things in time, but you will never relax when you get along with your work. If you turn off notifications, when you open your mailbox, you will only see work-related letters or notifications.
The second trick: it is king to read it back. Vladimir Gendelman (founder and current CEO of Company Folders) thinks that it is most important to minimize the workload during holidays. It's annoying to be disturbed by company letters or group notices all the time. But you can't turn off your cell phone, close your eyes and pretend you didn't see anything. All you can do is not read it back. If you can't read it back, you can clearly know about the company, but you can leave him alone for a while and have a good holiday.
The third measure: just keep in touch with your confidant. Some people just can't live without work, even for a few days. David Ehrenberg (founder and current CEO of Early Growth Financial Service) suggested that such people choose one or two trusted subordinates or colleagues from their own team and contact them before going to bed or breakfast every day to see if the company affairs are still going on normally.
The fourth measure: you must plan ahead, not only for work, but also for holidays. People who work all day without rest will not only get worse, but also overwork their brains. Russell Kommer (founder and current CEO of ESO Fare Associates) suggested that when arranging the work plan, all tasks and responsibilities should be listed, and in addition, holidays should be arranged according to one's ability and workload. In this way, you will have a clear understanding of your future workload, and you can also work hard and have a good vacation according to this plan.
The fifth measure: turn on the phone. Do not disturb mode Cooper Harris (founder and current CEO of Clickly) said that his holiday habit is to spend less than two hours at work every day, and the rest of the time will open a do not disturb mode. All letters and notices will be hidden, and it only takes him two hours to finish his work every day. This is another trick that can be recommended to people who can't live without work.
The sixth trick: make good use of assistants to help with your work. Secretaries and assistants are set up to help you with your work. Anthony Johnson (founder and current CEO of American Income Lawyers Group) suggests that when you are on vacation, don't use your work phone number, and then set it to forward your letters and calls to your secretary or assistant and ask them to pay attention to it for you. Deal with unimportant things first, and make sure that they will have a special number for you to have a holiday, so that if there is something really important for you to deal with, you can be contacted.
The seventh trick: if you have a family, have a good holiday, and you may have a few lovely children. It is difficult to spend all my time with my family during work. Since it's a holiday, why not make good use of it and spend all your time loving your family? Wesley Mathews (founder and current CEO of High Level Marketing) admits that it is really difficult not to open an email or working group, but for the sake of the family, we must try our best not to open it. Make good use of the automatic reply function, let others know that it is not convenient for you to reply in person now, and then get along well with your family!
The eighth trick: project management and group chat When you are not at work, but want to know about the operation of company affairs, He Sam Mesat (the current CEO of Guzu) shared a coup-e.x Trello or group chat. With these tools, you can still learn about the company during the holidays, but these apps need to run continuously in the background of the mobile phone, which consumes a lot of power. Remember to turn on the power saving mode, so you don't need to charge all the time.
The ninth trick: colleagues are your partners. Some things really need to be answered, but suppose you are on vacation in Bali, do you want to think about how to reply by mobile phone at the beautiful seaside? Jess Larson (founder of Children's Rescue Association) said that you can ask your trusted colleagues to help you. Every time there is a letter that needs to be answered, you can forward it to your colleague and ask him to reply for you. However, you can ask your colleagues to send you a draft reply letter before sending it. Suppose you want to call back in person and find a time that won't affect your holiday. Of course, it would be better if those letters could wait until you come back to work.
Tenth trick: don't turn off all mobile phones. Although it is a holiday, you don't need to turn off all the computers and mobile phones. You can use Do Not Disturb mode or turn off notifications. Cynthia Johnson (currently an executive of R&D brand of American addition center) suggested that you can set a fixed time to reply and call back every day during the holidays. Remember to delete the signature file "from iPhone" when the mobile phone replies. After all, there is no need to tell the world that you are on vacation.
Eleventh measure: Google Hangout was recommended by Andre Chandra (current president of I Print N Mail) to all employees on vacation. Google Hangout can help you keep in touch with team members or subordinates, let them filter your letters and phone calls first, and invite you only at important moments.
Twelfth measure: reply at a fixed time. As mentioned above, although I have a holiday, I still can't close my eyes and all my lines will disappear. Magnus Simon Arson (the current vice CEO of Consult EBS) suggests setting a fixed time every day to handle official business. This is not to make you love your job during the holidays, but to get back on track faster when you return to work in the company after the holidays.
Thirteenth measure: separate business from private affairs. It is true that you should try not to use mobile phones and computers during holidays, but you can still do business at a fixed time. Shahriar Sikder (the current CEO of Meridian Technology Consulting Company) also suggested using the automatic reply function. Only use mobile devices for very urgent or important things.
