Take the damn vacation.
Without worrying about work, without making unnecessary accommodations to join meetings that could be emails, without taking “one quick look” at your inbox to ease your anxiety.
It’s not that deep. It’s just a job. A job you may love, or you may not, but either way, it’s just something that is supposed to enable you to live and ENJOY the rest of your life.
Key word: enjoy.
Hard to enjoy your life when you keep letting work be the #1 priority. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you set that standard, then you’ll get held to it. Only you can draw the boundaries you want to be respected. Only you.
Save this as a reminder before your next trip so you feel confident that you can actually unplug and it will be okay. I promise 🫶🏼

I actually did have a partner once (wasn’t even my direct boss) get upset because I didn’t answer from a wellness retreat in Bali for ONE call that I asked him to handle. And he was upset because it didn’t go well and instead of taking accountability he got mad. 😂 WILD. 🤯

A great manager once told me: 'If the wheels fall off while you're away for a week, that’s a structural issue, not a you issue.' Leave the laptop behind!
