After a long holiday weekend, I'm always busy. Today is no different. It's even worse than when I'm on vacation and return?
Why? As a business owner, certain things are expected of you from your clients. When I'm on vacation, there are still certain things that I have to do from a business standpoint. My husband and I are the only employees, so that means one of us has to keep up with everyday things. My clients know I'm on vacation, so they know that I won't be available for anything, but that I will keep up with things that have to be done every day. So, I typically don't get any new work while I'm on vacation.
When it's a holiday weekend, I don't work. I only issue refunds for one of my clients. Everyone else has a holiday, so I get one, too. My clients understand that. However, when I get back, I've got all that everyday work that I didn't do to get caught up on.
Why don't I just work on the holidays then? Well, I do need a break! It's also a time for family. Since everyone else (well most everyone else) gets a holiday at the same time, I don't feel guilty. So, I'll just have to deal with the extra work when I return, because that down time is necessary!
Working for yourself is hectic I know...but you need to take the breaks where and when you can because otherwise you'll burn out. Generally clients won't expect you to work when on vacation and most are pretty good at leaving you alone once you set the boundary.
I have always hated getting back to ten million emails after I've been away though, used to drive me mad so I feel for you.
Hope you have a beautiful holiday.
I agree! This past weekend I took time to just be without the pressure of work. It was a nice break after months and months of nonstop work.
