If you are a person that travels for pleasure, it’s obvious to say that you probably don’t want to be on social media and/or thinking about work while on vacation.
Travel is a great way to relax the mind and body and to lose yourself in the new sensations and experiences that a destination provides. If you spend time worrying about your fantasy football group chat or that work meeting that you’re missing, you won’t enjoy your vacation to the max.
These three tips will help you disconnect from the “real” world and enjoy traveling even more.
Do Work Before Your Trip to Prepare
Instead of having to worry about getting caught up when you return from a trip, why not accomplish that week’s tasks before you leave? This will help you disconnect and not worry about work.
Leave Your Phone in the Room
While phones are ubiquitous these days, they still aren’t really necessary. You can leave your phone in your hotel room while strolling around a city and use old-fashioned paper maps to get around.
Laptop-Free Zone
There’s no need to travel with a laptop, so don’t bring it with you. If you have your laptop with you, there’ll be more temptation to check work email and social media. Just leave it at home!
