3 Key Ingredients for the Best Caribbean Vacation Holiday Ever!

If you’re somebody who doesn’t like to travel without their mobile device and you regularly feel inspired to write long lists of to-do’s for work on your personal leisure trip . You’re also planning to call in to get messages from work as much as possible from your vacation holiday  (ie daily), then read on. This is for you.

Our busy schedules and the pressures of today’s uncertain economy can build a pressure that results in a strong urge to work whilst on holiday. (Please excuse us, we’re British but feel free to swap in the word holiday for vacation and vice versa to suit your local language). Back to the article..

Never before have we been so easy to contact as now. The internet is practically enveloping the planet in wifi and most of us have the technology to access it. The lines between work and home are now becoming so blurred that going on holiday can become an extension of work days..

But we’ve got some practical tips for you on how to handle this so that you get more out of your vacation for both you and your family..

Choice

A holiday that is less work and more holiday is a choice. Will I leave my iPhone off so that I can spend quality time with my partner and/or family? Am I going to keep checking my voicemail and then handle any calls that have been left for me? Although it’s easy to say that you will, it’s can for some, be quite a difficult challenge to accomplish. However, if you choose not to be disturbed on holiday then you won’t be.

Urgent vs important

Although being in contact through modern technology is clever, it may leave the impression that anything important that arrives in your inbox is important, whereas that isn’t actually the case. Leave things that are just important for when you get back – and only handle urgent matters.

Remove yourself

Not taking your device to the beach or the pool will give you a break from it. Out of sight/out of mind. You don’t need to carry them everywhere that you go on your holiday. You can check for messages when you get back.

Keeping these 3 things in mind whilst you’re away will help you to make the best of your break. You’re far more likely to return feeling refreshed and rejuvenated so that you can produce more creative work in a far more effective manner than before you went.
