I have never tried this but would love to take a long work from anywhere trip and go somewhere far from my place. But would you enjoy? would you be efficient? or would you end up screwing up both?
I think the key thing would be to very clearly have set in your mind that it's not a vacation. You'd need to mentally frame it as work, but from cool places. And then I think it would be fine.
@siddhesh_lokare1 I guess so. It's about setting mental expectations. If you look on it as a vacation then working feels like a pain; an obstacle. So I believe the thing to do is to set the bar at the right level eg. "I'm working, this isn't a holiday, but I'm doing so from some really awesome locations that I can make the most of outside my work hours... I am very lucky"
Pros: at least you're out of the office and you work in a cool place.
Con: you can't have a real break. Mental load. You can't schedule your day as you want (unexpected meetings and calls)
3 major lessons I perceived from these answers :
1. Work and vacation mean different things to different mindsets.
2. Routines and habits are not restrictive but actually liberating.
3. Not everyone is striving for balance.
Depending on the task it can be pleasant and productive, for instance I never take my laptop with me, however I found myself editing a video on my smartphone on the beach last christmass... I like using my vacation to critically rethink some aspects of my business, brainstorm, take notes, document and educate myself.
During my last escape, I had a crazy idea, starting a book... I was surprised by how productive I was! wrote 45 pages on my mobile while chilling with friends and family!
Ugh you can never really sit back and relax - always so tense about work.
But at the same time.. You don't have to worry about logging in your holidays!
Lot's to think about - and always prepare for the worst. I'm currently doing it from an RV and here's a few things to consider:
1) Is the timezone difference going to inhibit your work? Are you going to be hosting meetings while everyone else is going to dinner?
2) Are you going with a partner or a large group? Is it fair to the large group to ask them to be quiet while you continue to work? Are you going to be taking meetings while your travel partner is taking a nap?
3) Have multiple failover plans for wifi - don't expect the hotel/airbnb to be up to snuff. Personally, I have hotspots from 2 different providers, including wifi provided by campgrounds.
4) Set expectations with your team - that you may be working off hours but committed to getting your tasks done.
5) Have fun with it!! If you're truly on vacation, ensure that you take a few days truly off, don't work the whole time.
6) Double and triple check you have all your chargers, etc. I use a Mac with Sidecar to use my iPad as a secondary screen and it works wonders, but make sure to test it before you go.
If I can think of more, I'll update!
@andrew_forkner So well put and explained. Yes, having fun is significant. Finding the perfect harmony between work and fun needs to be talked about. More we are in sync with our routine and habits more we tend to enjoy!
The purpose of vacation is defeated if you carry your work thoughts to a new place. So no question of working on vacation. If you want to work, then can't call it a Vacation
Went on a solo-trip to Europe last year. Was relaxing for 15 days. Got an imp work,spent the night completing it with music on.
Was the best part of my holiday :)
Our team went for a month for a workcation to Manali & they are enjoying it so much that they have extended it for another month. You can read their experience to know what it is like.
