The Day Before You Go On Vacation Syndrome

I have achieved a lot today - both in the online and offline worlds.

Compared to a 'normal' day I have probably achieved about 100% 'more' in each world!

It just goes to show what you can do if you really set your mind to it - and if what you are doing is important enough to keep you focused.

I call it the "day before you go on vacation" syndrome. (I'm not, BTW)

You know - it's the day before you are due to go on vacation - and you rush around making sure that everything is finished so that you don't leave any work whilst you're away.

Ever notice that?

I bet, if you're like me - you probably write down a list of exactly what needs to be done - so that you can be sure that you don't miss anything important.

It's funny how goal-oriented we become when we have the prospect of a nice vacation in front of us, isn't it?

Why don't you try to have a "day before you go on vacation" day tomorrow?

Draw up a list of all those tasks that you have put off for too long - and prioritise them - then just do them as if you were going on vacation!

Wouldn't it be great to come in work the next day knowing that you had a clean 'slate' to start the day with.

You proved that you can do it the day before your real vacation - so why not play 'pretend' - and get rid of that backlog once and for all?

I promise that you will be glad that you did!
