If most of your coworkers are on vacation, don't waste that precious quiet time. Take the opportunity to tackle important projects you’ve been putting off that could really benefit your career.
Networking is another task that many people consider important, but gets short shrift when work heats up. When many of your colleagues are out of the office, however, it means that fewer people are expecting an immediate response to their messages, and no one is looking over your shoulder to see how long your lunch break is. Languid summer days may be the perfect time to reach out to other colleagues, inside or outside your organization.
It can feel dispiriting when every message you send is met with an autoresponder reminding you that you’re the only one who’s not on vacation. But the reward for holding down the fort is uninterrupted time to embrace meaningful work, clear out the cobwebs that have been hindering your productivity, and extra time to connect with colleagues and build a robust network. Those are all tasks we should embrace throughout the year, but too often, we get caught in the hurly-burly of immediate demands.
Obviously, it’s more fun if you’re the one who’s on vacation. But even if you’re not, you can still reap the benefits of others taking time off.Accelerate your career with Harvard ManageMentor®.
