This year, Independence Day is on Thursday, so many people will have a four-day weekend. If you’d like to use this weekend to relax instead of catch up on work, here are some recommendations:
*Time block your week to get more done before the holiday weekend
*Practice Work-Life Balance Part 1 and Part 2 (it’s written for a different holiday, but you can apply the same principles)
*Why taking a break is good for your health (in case you need a reason why)
*Should you stay in contact with the office while on PTO? Part 1 and Part 2
If you’re in retail or the restaurant industry, the July 4th weekend might be one of your busier times, so you can apply these recommendations on a different weekend.
Celebrate your independence and freedom this weekend!
