Can’t seem to think straight at work? Maybe a golf break is in order. The longer you work, the more you have to keep up a focused effort to process things, the more fatigued you get.

Scotland Golf Tour -  Time to rest your mind

  It’s usually more satisfying to play golf when you’re not tired, aching all over, or plagued by headaches. Same thing goes with your work. You can perform better when you’re rested and focused. So take some time to sleep, really. You need to reboot your mind so can see things afresh, in case you missed something at work. The sooner you do this, the sooner you can take that Scotland golf tour.

 Scotland Golf Tour – Explore your work schedule – is it really that clogged with tasks?

  It can feel like your effort is not making a dent in the scheme of things, especially when your task-clogged calendar remains clogged despite your efforts. Perhaps you can ask for more members in your team since it’s not humanly possible to accommodate more work given your timetable. Learn so say no to management, on reasonable grounds of course. Should things still feel unsynchronised despite your efforts, perhaps things may make more sense if you ask a colleague for feedback on what you’re trying to speed things up. Sometimes all you need is somebody else’s point of view.

Scotland Golf Tour – Realistically do the tasks

  Since you can’t do too many things at once (except according to overhyped theories about management), you have to do tasks in sequence. Your sleep pays off here, since you’re rested enough to see which tasks need priority, and which you can’t realistically achieve given a time-frame. Multi-tasking only works if you can initiate, track, and evaluate more than 5 tasks for prolonged periods of time, without overlooking details. Not many can do that. But if you could focus on a single task and get it done right and quickly, you have more time to finish other tasks, without feeling overburdened. If one could single task in sequence, it would get more done, as multi-tasking has that effect of making us easily distracted, and therefore it’s tougher to focus, easier to feel overwhelmed. The sooner you can finish more through single tasking, the sooner you can go to that Scotland golf tour.

 How not to be phoned by the office during your vacation

  If you don’t want to be phoned by your office regarding some updates or data on a project you’re involved in, you have to address this before you slip away on your vacation. When sending reports and updates, be sure all data as attachments are not corrupted. Be sure to draft emails for all those involved in the projects you had or has been working on prior to your golf time-off, so there’s no confusion about who has what data and where they can be accessed. This is a good way to relieve yourself of potential problems, so you can better enjoy your Scotland golf tour.

  You could probably think of some other things that would give you some elbow room, so you can take that Scotland golf tour package you’ve been dreaming about.
