4 keys to balancing work and summer
With the arrival of summer we are more active, there are more plans for free time and, generally, we are all happier. But, what about those people who don't have summer vacations? They can also enjoy the same plans as when they are on vacation!
Perhaps those who work during the summer do not have the possibility to cross the pond or travel to another place due to lack of time. But they can make the most of your city or other nearby cities. or other nearby cities.
And you may ask, why are we so sure this is possible? Well, because we've proven it. And we assure you that combining work and summer is possible. Here are four essential keys to doing so:
1. Differentiate your work day from your free time
It is very important to avoid overtime and make an effort to finish all pending work during your working hours.
Similarly, you should also learn to completely forget about work while you are in your free time during the week and, of course, on weekends. Nobody disconnects 100%, but try to learn to separate these terms to be happier.
Don't forget that this is a very important key to balancing work and summer.
2. Join all the plans in your city
Whether you live in a large city like Barcelona or a smaller one, you'll always find something to do.
If you are working this summer in Barcelona, we recommend you follow Barcelona Secreta and Time Out Barcelona to be up to date with the plans in our wonderful city.
Theater, outdoor cinema, street shows, local festivals, excursions... there are countless plans waiting for you day after day so you can disconnect from work.
3. Escape to a nearby place for the weekend
Take the car or public transport and go to a town or city near your place of residence. That change of scenery will bring you many benefits.
You don't have to sign up for all the activities of the place you're going to; you can simply disconnect and relax without doing anything more than resting.
Spend the day in a place different from where you live, go to a hotel to spend the whole weekend... whatever you prefer. And also choose your company well, because sometimes it's better to be alone than in bad company.
4. Count on your friends and family
If you are sure who is the best company for your plans, why not suggest they sign up with you?
The only rule we recommend: do not talk about work under any circumstances. FORBIDDEN! Remember that the first key to combining work and summer is learning to differentiate both terms. Everything in its time.
Now it's time to enjoy the month of August and make the most of it. Because working in summer doesn't mean not enjoying yourself. With desire and enthusiasm, anything is possible!
