Top 5 Ways to Use “Use or Lose” Time
So it’s end of the year and you have “use or lose” vacation time that you have to spend or it goes away. Here’s 5 ways to optimize the time
1) Take an hour off every other day – Show up to work an hour later every other day and use the time to work out at gym nearby the office or at home. Helps solve holiday weight gain and makes day fly by.
2) Take every Wednesday off – Never work more than 2 days in a row….Awesome!
3) 4-day weekends – If you are on a 5/4/9 schedule and get every other Friday off, combine it with use or lose for a series of 4-day weekends and short trips
4) Epic vacation – If you really have it made, go all European on us and take a huge vacation. Take Thanksgiving to end of the year off. That would be awesome.
5) Give back –Donate some of the use or lose time to people in need. Be good. Lots of people at your agency run into problems and need help.
You? How have you maximized “use or lose”?
