OK, all you vacationing hard drives with hair – step awaaaay from the technology!  Whether it’s work or your family that your psyche is tethered to, whether it’s Disney with the kids or a romantic getaway with your man, what’s the worst that could happen?  Something might not be done exactly how you would do it? Unplug and disconnect from your routine and let someone else make a decision, learn something, and possibly fail.  Sitting outside the Tower of Terror and dealing with a work crisis while your family enters The Twilight Zone is wrong on soooo many levels.  People who can’t or don’t take vacations (about 30% admit to it) are usually the same people who suck at delegating.   So you could look at Leisureville as an opportunity to improve your delegating skills, a skill set that usually requires planning ahead.  A month before departure, brainstorm the major meetings looming and schedule them with the right people so nothing major is planned while you (or they) are away.  Determine who would handle what type of emergency in your kingdom, and discuss with that person how to handle things.  Then put those names on your voice and email autoresponder – “I’ll be out of the office from July 10-18.  If you have a question about real estate, email Donald@the trump.com.  To order, go directly to my website, www.SunnyHersh.com.”  Lie to some, if you must, about the fact that you’ll have no internet or cell phone access, but let a trusted two know how to actually get in touch with you.  If you must, set up an emergency gmail account you check once a day where those trusties can tap you but you don’t have to wade through the enlargement ads.  After about the fourth day without technology, you may even have some fresh ideas about some complex work problems that you can jot down on an actual pad – kind of a forest and the trees moment.  That’s the result of putting time into yourself, the input that will increase the output down the road!
