How to Successfully Plan a Workcation?

Hearing about this concept initially, it confuses a lot of us because work and vacation together is just offensive! But before you jump to any conclusions, hear us out. You wake up every day, open your laptop and attend meetings. No thrill, no change of environment or work from home as we call it. Now add the excitement of a vacation to this equation. It’s a win-win scenario!

So, plan yourself a great workcation and worry not, we might just help through it.

1. Location: the most important question here would be, where? Where you choose to go affects vastly how your workcation feels. Choosing a place that is relaxing, has fun activities for you to do and has a stable Wi-Fi connection for all those zoom meetings you might have to attend.
2. While it might not seem like you’re taking an off from your work, its important to communicate your intentions to your manager so that they can set some realistic deadlines for you and you don’t ruin your plans and end up in a frenzy.
3. Once you have a destination and have your office informed, make a schedule. Now this will give structure to your trip and help you maximize the efficiency. Start by writing down all your meetings and deadlines along with the activities you want to do and places you want to visit. Make sure to give yourself time to relax so that you don’t end up over-exhausted.
4. Determine if you want to go on a solo trip or with friends or your family. Once you know whom you want to travel, planning and scheduling happens differently as you manage the schedules of those travelling with you too.
5. Keep in mind that the pandemic is still going on and taking care of your health is the top priority. So, check all the covid protocols before you go anywhere, get vaccinated and avoid places with high covid count.
6. The last but important thing would be, HAVE FUN!
