Ask Aya: Do you work when you go on vacation?

Architect My Business

Today's question is: “Do you work when you go on vacation? Or do you unplug completely?”

In this episode, I share how I transitioned from constantly inserting work during vacations to truly enjoying my time off. It’s not easy to completely unplug, but here’s what I did to be more present and enjoy rest without guilt:

🏖️ I became more proactive than reactive, planning ahead to ensure smooth operations.

✈️ I inform my team well in advance about my vacation, setting clear expectations.

📧 I set up an automated email response to manage client and team communications.

👥 I delegate responsibilities to my core management team, trusting them to handle things.

💻 When I can't resist checking into some urgent work, I limit myself to an hour to align with my team. It's okay to give in occasionally; a few minutes for peace of mind won't hurt!
