I was recently preparing and packing for a trip out of town. About a week before I left, I went through my task list and made sure that all unusual or important things that would happen during the time I was going to be gone were all turned over to other people, or were taken care of before I left. This looking for the items that needed attention while I was gone took me about 5 minutes and taking care of the things before I left only took about half an hour. This simple step before I left town made sure that those important tasks didn't come up while I was gone and less able to handle the situations or come through for the things I agreed to long before this time.
As I prepare for any trip away, it's important to take this step and just see if there is anything that needs my attention before I go out. Not only does it help me be on top of things and consistently reliable, but it also helps to relieve stress on my trip by not having surprise things come up and not being able to deal with them properly.
When you are on vacation, be on vacation. Take care of things properly before you leave and be able to fully enjoy your scheduled time away.
