I may be showing my age but our world has gone crazy. Do you remember when you had to share a computer at work, mail was posted in a postbox, most people didn't have an answering machine (ok, I was a late adopter!), mobile phones didn't exist and there were only a couple of tv channels. That was only about 20 years ago. I worked long hours then but when I went home, I was "off duty", uncontactable and could rest and recover. Now even when you are on holiday people still contact you. Do you ever switch off from technology? I have just returned from two wonderful weeks in Spain using the tips below...

Tips for the holiday season

Tips for the holiday season
- Leave you pc/ipad/gadgets at home
- Use your phone once a day for non-work related texts, calls or for emergencies. If you find this hard you may be addicted!
- Do not look at email. Just put an out of office message on, asking them to text if urgent.
If you're not going away on holiday:
Have a "staycation". Take a week off and switch everything off using the tips above.
If you must do some work, allocated specific time slots so that you can relax the rest of the time.
