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 have no vacation in the summer? You can also enjoy the same plans as when you are on vacation! Maybe 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 to other nearby cities. And you may ask, why are we so sure that this is possible? Well, because we have proven it. And we assure you that combining work and summer is possible. Here are four essential keys to do so:  

1. Differentiate your working day from your free time.

It is very important to avoid overtime and make an effort to finish all the work pending during your working hours. In the same way, you should also learn how to completely forget about work while you are on your own 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 combine work and summer.

2. Sign up for all the plans in your city.

Whether you live in a large city like Barcelona or a smaller one, you will always find something to do. If you are working in Barcelona this summer, we recommend you to follow Secret Barcelona y Time Out Barcelona to be up to date with the latest plans in our wonderful city. Theater, open-air cinema, street shows, local festivals, excursions... there are a myriad of plans waiting for you day after day for you to disconnect from work.  

3. Escape for the weekend to a nearby place.

Take the car or public transportation and go to a town or city near your place of residence. That a change of scenery will bring you many benefits. You don't have to sign up for all the activities of the place you are going to, you can simply go to disconnect and relax doing nothing but resting. Spend the day at a different place from where you livego to a hotel to spend the whole weekend... whatever you prefer. And also choose the company well, because sometimes it is better 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 don't you propose to them to sign up with you? The only rule we recommend: do not talk about work under any circumstancesPROHIBITED! Remember that the first key to combine work and summer is to learn to differentiate both terms. One thing at a time. Now it's time enjoy the month of August and make the most of it. Because working in summer doesn't mean not enjoying it. With desire and enthusiasm, anything is possible!
