Get Set Ready To Leave
Is the stress from doubling your workload before going on leave worth it? Here’s how to ensure you leave free from office-woes.
Step 1: STAY POSITIVE
Having something to look forward to helps. Holiday starts on the 20th? Decorate that particular spot on your table-planner with bright markers so you can see yourself moving closer to it.
Step 2: GET SUPPORT
Don’t be afraid to let family and friends know you have-to clear your work before your leave and that could mean OT. They’ll be more understanding when you arrive late for, or postpone, appointments.
Step 3: HAND OVER EARLY
Instead of handing over work last minute, start at least three days before you leave. This way, your colleagues can ask you questions while you’re still around. Make sure you come back bearing souvenirs.
Step 4: MAKE LISTS
Be obsessive about leaving lists behind. It stops others from needing to break into your computer, and it aids your colleague get the help he’ll need to get the job done.
