Ever received complaints from family members that you are not 100 percent giving the vacation hours to the family? Sounds familiar, most of us plan the best vacation but would tend to carry work laptops along with to make sure the official activities are running smoothly though you are on a personal trip. The whole idea behind power on the laptop is to just check the emails and reply urgent questions and attain self satisfaction that things are fine at work too. But your spouse and children may not welcome this gesture. There are ways to balance both of them.

Set a notice with brief details of your vacation plan to your immediate supervisor, team members and frequent client contacts well in advance before your vacation plan. Do not leave any critical work open until the last day before the trip. Do not create dependency of any problem on only you. Share your open issues with another team member and provide insight to the solutions before you leave for the trip. Provide alternate contact person details in case of any issues along with you're out of office messages. Don't carry your mobile device with the telephone number shared with work. Participate in all the activities along with your family members.

Make sure you power on the laptop only to check your emails not to work on any solution. Reply only to the critical questions or emails, do not reply to least priority emails during your vacation and create expectation to your team that you are available through emails. This might show you occupied on your vacation completely with official queries and you would tend to make your family unhappy with less participation along with them on all the fun filled adventures. After all Vacation is once in a year, do not break it with your pre occupied work issues or thoughts.
