Should we plan holidays first and to work between them?
Hello!
After years working like crazy, we had children, changed our priorities and became more productive.
This year we had our first 6-weeks-long family vacation and it was amazing!
A mindset shift was required:
-
Realize that high productivity can be achieved by planning holidays first, then doing work in between
-
Think out of the habits you had and what people around you are doing
-
Ask the question "How to take extended off time with my family?" I'm sure you are creative and you can find answers.
The benefits of such a long break from work are huge. This is time to focus on what is important for you. This can include thinking about the work project that matter the most. For me it was starting https://famxplor.com

Does it relate to how you manage your time and energy during the year?
I found this quote on work and vacations inspiring:
"Extraordinary successful people launch their year by taking time out to plan their time off. Why? They know they'll need it and they know they'll be able to afford it. In truth, the most successful simply see themselves as working between vacations."
It comes from The ONE Thing book, a highly recommended read!
