Spring break isn’t just for college kids
We need a break.
There’s a lot happening in the world right now — from long lines at TSA that make travel feel impossible to rising gas prices and conflicts overseas. And it’s only March.
I vote for a spring break. No, not just for your kids, for us. As Q1 comes to a close and the doldrums of winter seem behind us, the younger set isn’t the only one who deserves a respite from all of this. Professionals also need a seasonal reset, too.
So, how do you take a corporate spring break? Well, I’m glad you asked. Here are a few tips I’ve rounded up from our coverage at Business Insider to take a guilt-free moment to recharge.
- Put it on your calendar: If you’re like me, if it’s not blocked off, it’s not happening. So go to your calendar now (don’t worry, I’ll wait) and block off a few days.
- Keep it short: Fine, I get it. Your to-do list is ever-growing, but two to three days count.
- You don’t have to go far: Yes, spring break once meant partying on a beach. Reframe what a break could mean for you, whether it’s a staycation or a quick jaunt to a nearby state.
- Set boundaries: Set your OOO. Communicate your handoff and actually log off. There’s no point if you’re keeping one eye on Slack.
Here’s to our own spring break. You know, just reimagined.
