On vacation and still reaching for your phone? You’re not alone.

In this National Geographic article doctors and researchers weigh in on specific tactics that will help keep your mind off work while on holiday.

The impact of email on work-life balance has affected a generation. Now, productivity apps like Slack and Zoom have made it nearly impossible to escape work life in your free time—even when you’re on the beach. In many ways, the pandemic has made so-called “grind culture,” or the expectation of always being available for work, even worse by further blurring the lines between home and professional life.

 

Even when “out of the office” doesn’t mean what it used to—and when powering down your phone seems nearly impossible—there are some tips, tactics, and solutions to help save your vacation from becoming an extension of your workweek.
