Plan for time off at Easter

Filed under: Virtual Office Posted on March 13, 2010 by Simon

After a long dark winter, the warmer longer days generally make people happier.  This really is the time for renewal, optimism and enthusiasm so make the most of Spring and the first Bank Holidays of the year.

Easter Sunday is one day of the year that large shops are not allowed to open so take advantage of this and find a real way of relaxing.  A brain cleared of the clutter that work forces into it will work much better and be more creative.

The good thing is that a virtual office will often remain open over the break, albeit with reduced hours or staff, and over the four day break customers will not be expecting to carry out business.

When you return on Tuesday it is likely that business will still be quiet so take advantage of this.   Leave the phone messaging with the virtual office and ease yourself back into the business by working to clear out your own desk and office.

Now is a good time to get rid of things which have been hanging around and which serve no purpose except to get in the way and look untidy.  If you have to keep them then they should be filed away ready for the right time.

If you recognise that you are never going to realise a ‘nice to have’ project then let it go.  There will be plenty more new opportunities and ideas coming up to consider.

By Tuesday lunchtime you should have an impressively clear office, feel immensely satisfied and be raring to go.  If so, treat yourself to a large chocolate egg.
