Three Quarters of Americans Will Take a Workation This Year

"The best way to blend your vacation and work time is to set a few rules, and stick with them: If colleagues need to update or consult you, ask them to send a single daily report, by e-mail, at a set time each day. That way, they won't overwhelm you with hour-by-hour questions and progress updates. Change your smartphone settings so you have to actively check your e-mails, rather than have them arriving all day long. Decide that you'll work for a set period each day, at a set time. Don't work outside these times. If you're going to work, make sure you have a proper setting. Instead of struggling with unreliable Wi-Fi or phone signals, find somewhere professional to work. That way, you'll wrap up your work quicker. "
