How to Get Work Cleared Before Your Holiday Vacation

Here are seven tips to make sure you get all your work sorted out pre-vacation: 

1. Delegate. There's a good chance you're not delegating as much as you should be.
2. Prioritize. Focus on the actions that get you real results.
3. Make a Check-List. If you've got several different projects on the go, make yourself a check-list for each one, jotting down the steps you need to take before going away. 
4. Set up an Out of Office Reply. 
5. Leave Instructions and Equipment Somewhere Obvious. If you have any particular piece of office equipment that others are likely to need in your absence, make sure it's not buried in the bottom drawer of your desk.
6. Leave Yourself a Note. On your last day in the office, leave a note to yourself detailing: Where you'd got up to on any unfinished tasks, what tasks you postponed until return, what needs immediate action when you get back into the office and anything else you'll worry about forgetting whilst on vacation
7. Relax and Enjoy It.
