The holiday season is a special time to spend time with your family, but you may just reply to your boss or scroll Slack.
But let's stop this year.If you want to take a true vacation this year's holiday season, it's important to leave your work.
However, no matter how strong you are, technologies such as smartphones, notebook PCs, and apps will make it more difficult than necessary.
Here are some tips for getting away from work as much as possible.
Don't use smartphones, notebook PCs, tablets, etc. you use at work.Don't open it, don't look.
If you open a work notebook PC just to watch YouTube's fun videos, you will see messages and requests that should be handled at the beginning of the year.
So, when you go on a trip, put all your work devices at home.And when you are at home, keep it in the drawer.Let's do our best here.
But this is not what anyone can do.Some people use smartphones for work and private life, or that work laptops are the only PC.
In that case, let's limit the opportunity to receive work notifications by referring to the following hints.
However, in any case, do not use work devices as much as possible during vacation.
In the above flow, take the apps, photos, videos, and other files you need during your vacation from your work device before the vacation starts.
That way, all the information you need is at hand, without touching your work device.
If your colleague sends an interesting link on Slack, bookmark before signing off from Slack.If you want to see a photo of the year -end party that someone has emailed to the team, download it now.
That way, you don't have to open Slack and email during your vacation.
Of course, the same device may be used for work or private.If you are using a work app on your smartphone or laptop, make a notification before vacation.
I often see comments that "I'm worried about Microsoft Teams alerts", but readers may feel the same about the unique sounds of various apps used at work.
I don't want to ruin the vacation with the notification sound.Please mute the notification once.Perhaps the condition is so comfortable that you don't want to turn on the notification again.
If you are using an iPhone, you can fully block your work apps and contacts from vacation by making the most of the new features of iOS 15, "concentrated mode".
Set a "concentrated mode" that stops notifications from Slack, Gmail, colleagues you don't want to talk, and enable during your vacation.
See this guide for more information on how to set "Centralized mode".
I'm sorry if I didn't use my work apps or devices, but my colleagues call me without knowing.
To prevent such a situation, be clear that you are on vacation.If you are using chat apps such as Slack or Teams, set the status to "on vacation".
The same is true for emails.If you do not forget to set the automatic response, you will find that this is on vacation for those who are trying to contact by email.
Remember to see if the day of taking a break is displayed in the work calendar, so that the team will know when to when, when it will be absent and when to return to work.
husband.I forgot what was important.
Even though the vacation has begun, it is ruined if the smartphone wake -up and chime starts ringing at 6 am, which is the usual wake -up time.
Before you get on vacation, operate the smartphone watch app and disable the alarm until you return to work.
You may not have to remember the alarm yourself.The smartphone is getting smarter and smarter, so if your vacation is in the calendar, your smartphone may propose to disable the alarm.However, there is no loss in double checking.
