The winter holidays are a time when everyone looks forward to spending quality time with family and friends. It is important to strive for a balance between work and personal life always, but especially during times like the holidays. Tony Varco, Vice President at Convergint Technologies, shares his advice on how to plan on disconnecting for the holidays, while also ensuring that work projects and responsibilities are taken care of, in the article  “7 Winning Tactics For Disconnecting From Work During The Holidays”,  written by Dana Brownlee and published by Forbes.

“Plan in advance for being out and being off. Good planning allows for appropriate disconnects. Communicate early and often to customers and colleagues about your upcoming planned time off, and work with them to find solutions. Set up a buddy system and create specific plans for another colleague or colleagues to take ownership of your projects while you’re away – then trust them to perform well.”
