Glad I could be of help. After you get back from your vacation, stop by and let me know how it was. I'd love to hear about it!

I have long been thinking over whether I should take a vacation or not. I mean, I want to but I don't think I have enough time. I don't want to leave for vacation and have to go back to tens of unfinished tasks and hundreds of unread emails, that will just make me even more stressed. But thank you for helping me get over my dilemma and inspiring me to take a break. I need this and I deserve this.

I especially liked tips #2 and #3. Thanks Paul for another timely and relevant post.

When I travel on vacation I will often look to see what events that interest me are going on in that location (looking on one of the online communities that coordinates group meetings). For me this is often events where groups of technology people (programmers, etc.) meet on various topics. So it is a good way to meet people, make some contacts, and get ideas for content. Of course the options for attending these kinds of things varies greatly on where you are spending your vacation.

Thanks Meredith. I think it depends on the situation. I wouldn't automatically cut myself off from social media when on vacation, but at the same time I think its important that I give renewal and engaging with the people I'm physically with priority. In other words, I think its best to offload the communication obligations and then give myself the freedom to participate and engage as is convenient.

It's so…you! Want to add here what I mentioned during the chat, which is that I don't separate work and life — especially in the domain of ministry, so taking a vacation from posting church and faith related stuff doesn't really happen for me.

Does this make me a workaholic? Some might say so! I prefer to view this has having a more integrated and whole life, something made possible by focusing on God's presence everywhere, in all things, at all times.
