Question

With your workload growing, you may be telling yourself a vacation is one luxury you can’t afford.  1. A vacation allows you the opportunity to recharge your physical and motional batteries, disconnect from everyday concerns, and return to work rested and refreshed. Some facts have proved employees are more productive after a vacation than before one. Here are some tips for you to plan your vacation to make sure that your time away from the office is worry free.

Time is right. A Robert Half survey shows that July and August are the most favorable months for employees to take a break because these months offer ideal beach weather and many businesses slow down during this time.  2. For instance, if a big task is planned for the summer, you may consider postponing your trip until the fall.

Ask others for assistance.  3. Your supervisor can help you determine who is the most qualified for a particular task.

Let your contacts know. Give colleagues and customers you frequently work with a few weeks’ notice before you start off.  4.

Conduct a technical review. Before you leave, make sure there is plenty of room in your e-mail inbox so you don’t exceed (超越) your storage limit while you’re out of the office, which might prevent you from sending messages when you return.  5.

In short, taking vacation is necessary and beneficial for your job. But you must plan your vacation properly in order to work free and worry free on holiday.

A．Ask trusted colleagues to handle your projects while you’re away.

B．A summertime beach vacation includes so much more than what you desire these days.

C．But the truth is that you can’t afford not to take one.

D．This will give them enough time to plan for your absence.

E. Also make sure passwords won’t expire(期满) while you are away.

F. What’s more, find your pet a temporary home when you are on vacation.

G. When planning your vacation, remember to take into account any activity that your department will be focused on during that time.
