What is a Workation?

"If you are forced to take work with you, try to work on a set schedule. Particularly if you are traveling with friends or family who want to spend time with you, try to get your work done early in the day. Set an absolute stopping time, perhaps in the early afternoon, and direct the rest of your day to fun and relaxation. Alternatively, work solidly the first few days if possible, allowing you to really take the last part of your vacation away from pressure. Vacations are important breaks that provide needed rest and an improvement in productivity. If you are in a position of power at your company or you are self-employed, understand the necessity of occasional completely work-free vacation. By taking a workation, you may be left with a sense that you never got away at all, and may return even more stressed and exhausted. Try to make sure you budget time to rest and reconnect with your companions or even just your pillow. No matter how important your work is, you will perform better if you can return to your job as rested and rejuvenated as possible. "
