Ask for help beforehand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before a vacation, it is always better to ask someone to take your place for a short period. They should be on your team, familiar with your job, and ready to help. They can handle urgent tasks for you and mark the ones that require your approval or expertise as pending until you arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are back, they will send you a brief on what is pending and what is done. You can then prioritize your pending tasks and schedule the rest for later dates. Don&#8217;t forget to check the done tasks as well; it is important to keep up with all events.<\/p>\n<p><em>Noura Yousef, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casita.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\"><em>Casita<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Keep_an_extra_day_for_yourself\"><\/span>2.

That means we usually end up coming home more exhausted and wound up than when we left.<\/p>\n<p>So do yourself a favor the next time you take a vacation and try keeping one day at the end just for you: to get home and unpack without the stress, to decompress, remind yourself where you left all of your meetings and paperwork off, and get your head into the game for going back to work on Monday. You\u2019ll be amazed at how much more productive you\u2019ll feel the next day, how much better you feel, and how much more quickly you\u2019ll be able to catch up.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vincent Chan, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/christinala.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\"><em>Christina<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Clear_the_decks_before_your_official_return\"><\/span>3. Clear the decks before your official return<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One easy way to help you catch up on work after a vacation is to schedule yourself a block of work time before everyone knows you&#8217;ve returned. That way you can take care of housekeeping items and even tackle other tasks without interruption. You&#8217;ll then be up to speed and ready when other team members start communicating with you upon your official return.<\/p>\n<p>For example, we are an all-remote company, so our main forms of communication are emails and Slack. I&#8217;ve found it extremely helpful to go online the afternoon or evening before my official return from a vacation.<\/p>\n<p>I use that time to review a large number of emails and Slack messages and acquaint myself with the latest updates, which can take at least a few hours. That way I can better plan how to organize the day of my official work return, making me feel less rushed, more productive, and better able to quickly respond to other team members.<\/p>\n<p><em>Karen Condor, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expertinsurancereviews.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\"><em>ExpertInsuranceReviews.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Check_in_with_your_team_first\"><\/span>4.

Your inbox might be too overwhelming and out of control but you can control how much information and time you spend with your team getting caught up.<\/p>\n<p>After these brief updates, you can then go to your inbox and filter your messages in order of importance, allowing you to quickly get the most urgent tasks out of the way.<\/p>\n<p><em>Paul French, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrinsicsearch.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\"><em>Intrinsic Executive Search<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Batch_your_replies_to_email_and_team_messages\"><\/span>5.

It can feel like a never-ending cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s one way to tame this cycle and regain your sanity: batch your replies. Schedule discrete times (for example, 9 a.m., noon, and 4 p.m.) to process your inboxes \u2014 then get back to your to-do list.

Whether you&#8217;re an executive or department-level employee, it can be challenging to get up to speed with everything that went on with your team after the vacation.<\/p>\n<p>The convenience of implementing project management tools like Click Up and Asana into your workflow is that team members can document all the major stages of any tasks completed and have them stored within the database for future reference.

It&#8217;s merely a few tables in a document. Before I leave, I send it to my team for them to fill with any pertinent information I should be aware of when I return. Simply create a shared document or spreadsheet in whatever app your company uses. Decide what information you want to record, such as the date an event occurred, the scenario, the name of the person who updated the information, and any links. When you get back, you&#8217;ll know what you missed out on.

The reality is you will be playing catch up, so there is no use in trying to do a &#8220;normal&#8221; day. Instead, plan to filter out irrelevant emails, follow up on anything urgent, and plan for the week ahead.<\/p>\n<p>You can set yourself up for success by automating some of this process to take care of itself while you&#8217;re away. Set up email filters so anything from certain people or departments ends up in folders sorted by priority. This way you can likely go in and delete entire folders of emails after a brief skim, rather than processing emails one by one.<\/p>\n<p><em>Volodymyr Shchegel, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/clario.co\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\"><em>Clario<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Plan_and_block_out_time_in_your_calendar\"><\/span>12.
