How to Quickly Catch Up on Work After a Vacation

The most important details in this text are the steps to quickly catch up on work after a vacation. Jennifer's advice is to block off day one for Admin & Catch Up, set time aside to devote solely to that activity, send out communication to inform people, and set expectations about when you'll be available or when people will hear back from you. These steps are essential for quickly catching up. Postpone meetings and calls until after you've caught up, use boundaries and say, "No," prioritize work, postpone or delay tasks that aren't a priority, and delegate tasks that can be shared or passed on to more capable hands. It is important to pass on work that is not needed to those who can do it and to use project management software to manage vacation time.

This helps to make sure everyone knows when you have time off and to manage return to work and catch up on old work. Taking a hiatus can actually help your business.
