I try not to slow down but since the kids are older we are literally running in 12 directions at any one time. How’d that do for making excuses? 😉

Each year I’ve gotten a lot better. Technology is helping a lot so that I don’t stop doing my daily tasks. If we go camping then some times I’ll have wifi at the campground and I can check emails and even blog quickly in the mornings before people get up. Otherwise, there is generally access for my smartphone so I can do the basics.

I keep my VA up to date when I’m going to be out of town and forward her emails that might need more attention than I can give them.

I also use scheduling, for everything! Blog posts, newsletters, social media, whatever I can. Take this weekend for instance, we’re out of town and I want to unplug completely. Have to schedule ahead so I’m not feeling the need to be writing this weekend 🙂

While so many are slowing down their efforts I try to take advantage of it. My busiest month of the year is September so I can’t be slacking or I’ll lose a major income.

Maybe it’s because I live in the desert, but I’m pretty much the same lazy all year round

I voted “Yes, I just want to relax & have fun” simply because I will be away for 6 weeks, and if I am actively engaged in marketing that would feel like working, not vacation. However, I will have things put in place that will get published in my absence, such as scheduled blog posts, tweets, etc. I will log in to social media sites once or twice a week, just to check messages, reply to inquiries and accept connection requests, etc.
