the end of vacation buffer day
Recommended by Sarah Beck
I used to try to squeeze every minute out of vacation, flying back late the night before work. but now we have a mandatory buffer day. Come back on Saturday, give yourself the gift of Sunday (or whichever day) to get your life back in order before you start the work week. Get your groceries, do your laundry, relax your way back in. We are not stressing at the end of vacation!

Same!
@pbergs
This is wise and sane and yes!
@christinec
Not only that, with the state of airline cancellations, it always pays to have an extra day to get back if needed!
@jazer
Big fan of this and like to do a cross-fade into work on my extra day: answer some emails, get organized, but also chill, do chores, and buy groceries

My boss also insists that anyone taking a week long vacation or longer also block off their first day back to protect time to catch up on emails and what all happened. We only attend the meetings within our group or meetings where we can get caught up. It allows us to roll back into work much more smoothly

This is a non-negotiable for me. Better yet, take your vacay the week before a long weekend. Fly back Saturday and don’t have to go back to work until
Tuesday!

I’ve started doing a leave mid-week, return mid-week as well that makes it easier to disconnect because I have a couple days on each end to connect with colleagues and move things forward.
