Almost the whole year we look forward to summer to take a vacation and go to the sea. The modern rhythm of life dictates its rules and time for a good rest is sometimes not enough. As a rule, it mostly concerns employees of offices and people who are at the beginning of their careers. To at least a little distraction from work, many prefer to take leave in parts. Why in fact such a perfect holiday does not justify itself, we will consider in this article.
Even a little bit - is it good already?
Weekly vacation today is very common. Although all the minimum terms are stipulated by law, and everyone knows how to calculate the number of days off, in fact, it turns out a little differently. The fact is that today the majority of the population works for private entrepreneurs and small firms. Almost always the terms of the holiday are negotiated directly with the boss. There are several reasons why young people deliberately refuse to have a proper rest:
- Fear of missing important events in the office (a modern employer prefers to hire people who are assertive, initiative, and long-term absence can be knocked out of the usual rut for a while);
- too much work (the popular tendency to combine several posts in one leads to the fact that it is difficult for a person to prepare for a full rest and can not be left for a long time);
- uncomfortable time of vacation (sometimes the specifics of the work allows you to rest in a period when there is simply no reason to take a long vacation).
These reasons can be listed endlessly, but the most important of them is a modern office worker who does not know how to rest. We try to take with us a phone, a laptop and all other fashionable gadgets, so that you can control the situation from a distance.
What to expect from such a holiday?
Rest is a change of activity. Think about whether or not you are changing your habitual way of life for this week. Incidentally, it was the inability to relax and rest, which led to the emergence of yet another problem of a modern office worker - constant tension in anticipation of a phone call.
Everything happens on a subconscious level, and we do not always realize it. The worry is if you vacuum or blow your hair with a hairdryer with the phone in your pocket, so as not to miss a call. Pay attention, how often you take it in your hand, look through the e-mail.
In addition to all the above problems, there are still obvious difficulties associated with the short term. Week of vacation in the summer can be complicated by the fact that you have to book a room for a month, otherwise you can stay without housing or pay exorbitantly. In winter, it is almost impossible to forecast the weather for the last few years, and in other periods of the year there is a great temptation to spend a week on home routine and stay in the city.
If there is no other choice and you will have to rest only a week, do it right.
- Plan in advance what and whom to entrust. Do not try to be in the office from a distance, your task is to plan your work in such a way.
so that in your absence everything goes according to a previously prepared scheme. - At least three or four days, completely reject the phone and another connection with the office. Preliminary call and warn colleagues about this. You must relax completely for a while.
- If you have a trip to another country, prepare for it well in advance. About a week, gather all the necessary things and before you leave prepare your things for work. As a rule, the vouchers are designed for a week and on arrival you simply will not have time to prepare for work.
