240: How to Prepare for Vacation
Show Notes Episode 240: Summer Vacation Planning Guide
On this week’s episode of Lady Journey Katie’s heading to a wedding in Costa Rica, Sarah’s taking a family trip to the Cayman Islands. The ladies give tips on how to keep your travel organized with pre packing checklists.
Work Prep
Katie and Sarah advocate arranging your schedule to finish a couple of big projects before a vacation, that way you can enjoy the vacation (and even the couple of days before!) from a sense of accomplishment. But also in the case that it’s not practical to totally cut yourself off from your work life, plan to do about 15 minutes of emails / social media first thing in the morning on your vacation days. Use out of office emails, email scheduling, and social media scheduling to set yourself up for success.
Vacation Prep Lists
Use a bunch of lists to keep all of your vacation tasks organized!
- Work Tasks
- Loose ends to tie up
- Packing List
- Books / Fun Items to keep you occupied
Maternity Wear
Sarah also takes a deep dive into the challenges of dressing for an ever changing baby body. It’s best to stick with timeless classics, because there’s not really enough time to develop a new style!
