Great ideas. I’ve found it’s important to build in enjoyable, non-work activities along with business travel. I have reached a point where I don’t consider my work to be work so I just add more fun to the plan.

I encourage the executives I work with to include relaxation in their business trips as well. This not only has the effect of rewarding oneself for a job well done but also recharges the batteries so we can be in better shape when we get back to our standard environment.

It goes back to Ben Franklin’s “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” maxim. You have to enjoy time off to enjoy work and find balance in life. When my clients ask, “But, I don’t have time,” I ask them to brainstorm on how to make it happen. One always makes time if something is high on one’s list of priorities.

Regards,

Guy

How have you combined work and vacation successfully?

* Recently, my co-worker Chris and I went down to Windsor on business, and had an absolute blast! We got to go clubbing and get our party on after the work was done, and in reality the work didn’t even take all that long!
* This trip was a follow-up to one we made up to Peterborough and Ottawa in February this year. There, we also had a great time and discovered that both cities have a great nightlife!
