Out of Office. For real this time. ✈️
Starting tomorrow I’m trading my inbox for Kauai and I’m not going to pretend I’ll be fully unplugged. I’ll be checking things here and there, but responses will be slower than usual because rest doesn’t work if it’s squeezed into the margins of a beach chair.
No team behind me means I stay reachable, just slower. That’s the honest tradeoff of running solo, and I’d rather name it than pretend otherwise.
Here’s how I’m holding the boundary anyway, and how you can too:
🧠 Pick one channel to stay half-on, ignore the rest
⏰ Block your first morning back for triage only, no meetings
📋 Write your “if this happens, do this” list before you go
🔕 Kill notification badges, not just DND
🎯 Decide what “checking in” means before you leave, not in the moment
Your business doesn’t need you glued to your phone to stay sound. If it does, that’s a systems problem, not a discipline problem.
Back in the office September 10th. Need something before then? Check the resources in my bio, most questions I get are already answered there. Or send me a DM and I’ll get to it, just on island time. 🌺
