Good Morning 🙂

Your mind may be wandering to your summer holidays soon?   If you haven’t booked one yet, when are you going to recharge your batteries? If you’re not going away, what can you do to refresh and revitalise you?

Here’s 5 Top Tips to help you prepare before you take your well earned rest, so you can kick back and relax while you’re away. You deserve it 🙂 Some of these tips will also help you get more organised for the rest of the year too.

My 5 Top Tips to gain time

1. How will you respond to your incoming emails? Are you going to answer them every day? or are you employing a PA/VA to track your emails and respond to clients requests while you’re away? VAs will keep your business rolling along for you while you have a good rest and recharge your batteries.

2. Will you tweet on the beach or will you put your phone away? Treat yourself to a social media holiday by scheduling tweets and posts on Hootsuite or line them up in Buffer, so you can have a rest too and step away from your phone! It’s hard to not have your phone with you at all times I know, but you can always leave your phone in your room safe. Try it, you’ll feel better for switching off. We’ll all still be here when you get back!!

3. What project work can you delegate to your VA, staff or team? People love to feel they have the responsibility and will shine and surprise you. Set clear guidelines and let them create and perform.

4. Have you put your out-of-office reply on your emails with an alternative contact details for any urgent requests? Add one of your popular blog posts to your to the email and people can still engage with your work. You’ll probably gain new enquiries too.

5. Call some of your contacts before you go; either prospects, clients or people in your network and arrange 3 meetings for when you return. It’s a good feeling when you get back – you can open your diary and see meetings already booked in.

If, like me, you’ve already been on holiday or aren’t planning one, then let’s crack on.
