(MCT)—The mercury is climbing and the days are getting longer. With Memorial Day weekend already behind us, there’s no better time to make sure your business is ready for summer.
You may feel like the hot weather, the kids being home from school, and vacation travel are stacking the deck against you for business productivity, but a little advance planning can go a long way.
Plan for Fun: Take time to recharge and recreate a little this summer. Business owners need time off, just like everyone else, and many studies point to the protective benefits of taking a vacation. Prevent burn out by squeezing in a trip with loved ones or a staycation that lets you enjoy your hometown, or just sleeping in for a change.
Vacation fun is also great fodder for creativity and innovation. If you haven’t had a fresh idea for your business in a while, you may be surprised what occurs to you while you’re careening down a zip line or gazing out of a scuba mask. If the work-guilt demons come calling, remember that an infusion of fresh perspective could lead to your next great concept.
