How to Leave Work Behind
Ah, technology. What would we do without cell phones, email and our PDAs? How about have a good weekend or vacation....
Recently on The Blogging Boss, a post alluded to how many workers are tied to their job, even on the weekend. But if you fall into this category, fear not, Spherion is here to share some insight in to how you can unplug for the weekend.
First and foremost, the more time you can spend catching up on a little R & R, the more refreshed you are to return to work on Monday, and the more productive you will be. If you never leave work, even at home, you will burn out and find yourself quickly disenchanted with your job.
Secondly, plan a fun activity or get involved with a hobby that you find relaxing and enjoyable. Regularly schedule this activity into your weekend plans. If you are someone who gets bored easily, pick out a couple of different activities that you can rotate from one weekend to the next.
Lastly, turn off the cell phone and laptop already! More than likely, you are one of only a few "weekend warriors" still tuned to the office on Saturday and Sunday. It's ok to work on tasks just to "get ahead" every once in a while, but you shouldn't make a habit of it.
