While we know it\u2019s impossible to cut ourselves off from email entirely,<br \/>\nwe should at least switch off during our vacations! Why risk spoiling our moods?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_it_Short\"><\/span><strong>Keep it Short!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Short breaks make people happier than one long holiday, psychologists have<br \/>\nclaimed. They have found that people who go on so-called mini getaways have more happy<br \/>\nmemories than those who holiday for an extended period of time. According to the study for the<br \/>\nHoliday Inn chain, the journey should be four hours maximum, and the break should be no more<br \/>\nthan three days.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ease_Back_In\"><\/span><strong>Ease Back In!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cindy Krischer Goodman of the Miami Herald, very keenly observed that we often<br \/>\njump straight back into work right after a vacation. Give yourself time to get back to the grind. You<br \/>\nmight want to return a day or two before you have to go to work to take care of personal stuff<br \/>\nbefore the demanding chaos of work resumes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Divide_Responsibilities\"><\/span><strong>Divide Responsibilities!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Planning and then executing a vacation is not a small task. It\u2019s often very<br \/>\ndifficult to keep a track of the small details which are essential to ensure a comfortable holiday. Split<br \/>\nup all responsibilities, starting from planning and booking to the very end with your vacation buddies<br \/>\nto ensure that you don\u2019t land up feeling like a tour guide or a personal assistant!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_realistic_expectations\"><\/span><strong>Set realistic expectations!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Frazzled with our daily routines, we often expect vacations to be<br \/>\nthe cure to all our problems. We imagine them to be rejuvenating or romantic or epic bonding<br \/>\nmoments. Usually, those expectations are not met! A successful vacation might be fun and full of<br \/>\ngreat memories but rarely are they life altering! Lower your expectations!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cut off Work Email!
