How to Organize the Perfect Vacation
Actionable advice.
"Better safe than bad". Speaking of which, it is good to keep in mind when preparing for the holidays, to prevent, as much as possible, the unpleasant situations once you have reached your destination. So that the whole period before the holiday does not turn into a stressful one, the golden rule is to plan everything.
In addition to this, however, there are a few things to consider before setting off to enjoy a carefree vacation. In the following, we offer you a short guide in this regard.
Pack your bags ahead of time
One of the most important aspects of the holiday is the preparation of luggage. Try not to do this operation on the last hundred meters and write a list of everything you need to take with you. This way, you will not forget to pack important things such as documents, money, reservations, or a medical kit.
Check all your travel documents, make sure everything is in order regarding the accommodation and tickets you have booked in advance, so that you can visit the sights without waiting in line, for example.
You should not miss painkillers, antipyretics, medications for gastrointestinal problems, or patches.
Also, don't forget to take your contraceptives with you, as well as the morning-after pill, as a safety precaution for emergencies where you didn't remember to take regular contraceptives or if your condom accidentally breaks. Details here!
Fit the budget you set for yourself
When it comes to holidays, you relax, you do not refuse any pleasure, trying to please those who accompany you, whether it is family or friends and you find that you far exceed the budget initially set, this aspect is one of the most stressful factors.
In order not to face the unpleasant situation of returning home without reservations and having to borrow to pay the bills, for example, or, worse, to run out of money in the middle of the holiday, you need to be organized.
In time, make sure that in addition to the estimated budget, you have a contingency fund for unforeseen situations. It saves you from extra expenses that take you by surprise.
Then, when you make the estimates, document yourself well about the prices charged by the locals for food, drink, transport and make all your reservations in advance for accommodation, plane, transfer from the airport to the hotel or tourist attractions.
In addition to the fact that you can get advantageous promotional offers, you do not give all the money at once, but gradually, which helps you to better organize your budget.
Keep your home clean before you go on holiday
Before you go on the road, leave your house in order, because in this way, you will go on holiday with the feeling that everything is ready and when you return you will not find a disaster in your home. Make sure you turn off the water and gas supply for extra safety.
Then it's good to have two rows of keys. You take one with you and leave the other in the care of a trusted neighbor who can intervene in an emergency. Also, ask him to look at your door from time to time, pick up mail from the mailbox, and flyers hanging from the doorknob.
Solve all job problems
Studies have shown that to have a carefree vacation, it is a good idea to keep your chores in order. From scheduling your vacation in advance so that everyone knows when you will be absent from the office, to solving all the tasks assigned to you.
Do not take your work phone with you and do not use email alerts. Relax and enjoy the beauty of your holiday with your loved ones. Also, make sure that after you return, you have a few more days off before resuming service.
Psychologists say that we need a transition period between vacation and resumption of work of at least two or three days.
So, if you want to enjoy the vacation of your dreams, do not forget that preparations are very important to avoid the unpleasant situations that may occur during the holidays.
Don't forget to pack everything you need, check all the documents and reservations, make a realistic budget and organize yourself in such a way that you don't let your chores ruin your vacation.
