Taking a break is one of the most important parts in freelancing, and in any job or career.

While you may not notice it, your getting burnt out and it’s important to take a break for a few days every month to let yourself recuperate.

Don’t work on weekends unless you need to, as they are yours!

A holiday will leave you revitalized, refreshed and renewed to come back to work with your clients and projects!

I so know the feeling, Thursday. I’ve got a trip coming up too and had been planning on making it a real vacation. I’ve done advance work, shifted deadlines and refused commissions for the holiday period and a couple of days either side. The only problem is one client whose deadlines were set a year in advance, which means I’ll have to take the laptop after all. With any luck, though, it will be no more than a couple hours’ work across the whole week – I can hope.

In my line of work, I cant really NOT take the laptop with: a freelance webdeveloper. Sites go down, and there are errors, and as I usually organize hosting as well, there are sometimes those emergencies to take a care of too. Thats just part of the game, and one has to take that into account.

On a recent vacation (ok, only 3 nights-worth…) I managed to get by with 1 hours of checking and responding to emails at night, and it worked well. I didnt lokk at the laptop at all at other times of the day, and dont get emails on my cell (which i was careful to switch off every day for a few hours). It allowed me to start the next week again, knowing that I was pretty much up to speed with things – and thats important too – to not get going again with a huge backlog- which does wonders for the self motivation!!

At the end of the day, one has to be honest with one’s self: you take the laptop with, and go thru the email subject lines and only open the ones that look urgent.

And dont forget, if you get carried away, your wife will always remind you where you are

I went on vacation as well recently, and here’s what I did:

1. Worked in advance to clear up current projects and close them off.
2. Prepared a ‘canned response’ for any new contacts that came in. It said, “I’m traveling until X date, but I’m happy to take a look at this when I return. Please send me the details.”
3. Prepared a second ‘canned response’ for any current clients who might have contacted me during my vacation. It said, “Good stuff. I’m traveling, and happy to take a look at this when I come back on X date.”
4. Created a “Deal with Later” folder for all non-crucial email, and just moved the stuff I didn’t have to deal with immediately to it. On my return, one click and I had all the stuff in one place to work through slowly.

The beauty of the vacation? I realized that only about 25% of my email and contact was critical stuff. 75% was fluff, filler, unnecessary and a typical waste of my time.

Amazing what you discover when you take a step back!

It is very hard to switch off, in some ways getting an iphone was the killer for me. I get emails when I’m in the pub – which just isn’t ideal (unless they contain quiz answers!)
Still it’s important to take a break, if you must be reached I’d maybe stick to checking things once every few days and only deal with stuff of vital importance. Or just leave it and set up a site monitoring service so that you’ll only respond if something has gone properly tits up.

Thanks for the article and hope you enjoy your future vacations!

Until my wedding, I was always connected in some way to my clients – all the time. Vacations meant packing up the laptop, PDA, some arbitrary business book that I planned to read by the pool (sometimes 2) and my book of business ideas. Because to me, vacation was time away from client work where I could work on projects that I wanted to work on. Rightfully, this drove my husband nuts.

So when I got married in Key West in 2007, my hubby had one plea – no laptop, no cell phone. I acquiesced and I have to admit that, besides the wedding, it was incredibly liberating to not be tied to the office. I told my clients that I would be out of touch. I gave them the into for one person at home that they could call with a true emergency. I added a signature to my email months in advance alerting everyone that I would be gone. Let my cell on my desk. I did bring my laptop, but only opened it once to find a restaurant. It was total heaven.

Since then, I still bring my laptop and cell on vacations, but I’m not nearly as tempted to use them for business. Once I cut the cord with my clients and allowed myself to relax and enjoy vacation time, my quality of life increased greatly.

And, for the record, I’ve never had a client have an “emergency” while I was away.

The biggest truth: telling clients that you’re “booked” for that week and not telling them you’re on vacation. I once had a client ask me which was more important, our business together or my honeymoon. Guess who’s not a client anymore?

- leave a note below your email signature well in advance of your vacation stating when you’ll be out of office.
- ensure that there are no deadlines at least a few days before you leave. This allows you to pack and get into the holiday spirit.
- definitely leave an out of office message on.
- try not to schedule work for the week you return. This allows you to catch up on emails, admin and plan for the coming weeks.

Yup! I can relate to this topic !! : ) I’m getting hitched this coming February, and my guy would not be cool with me working away on my laptop during what will hopefully be the most romantic two weeks of our lives.

We scouted our wedding resort last year, and I recall working right through that vacation. Every morning, I would have breakfast, and then take 1/2 an hour out of my $4000 vacation to read emails!!

It’s amazing how clients who are totally aware that you are on vacation, still email you throughout the vacation expecting replies.

That simply is not going to happen on this vacation! I’ll take everyone’s comments to heart.. and make sure I have all my checks in place before I leave on my laptop free vacation.

Thanks for the post!

Great Tips!

The freelance lifestyle certainly has its advantages. However, taking extended time off is not one of them.

I recently took a week off to vacation with my wife and kids in the woods of Maine. Not just from freelance “work” but from the entire internet (email, blog, twitter, etc.).

I planned about a month in advance for a week that looked somewhat open. I planned no deadlines for that week or the week after. I wrote some articles for my blog http://printedproof.com ahead of time and set them to publish while I was away – to keep content fresh.

I am glad to say I survived. It was not easy to be away from my computer for a full 7 days. With all the odd and long hours I work, I owed it to my family to dedicate all of my time to them.

Take a break from things you love so you don’t get tired of them. I love freelancing, which is why I take a break. Not because it wears me out or because it messes with my sleep schedule (It does a little of both), but because I love it and want to spend any extra time I have doing it. It’s relaxing to get a simple web application off the ground and submitted to an online marketplace for sale.

Take a break from things you love so you don’t get used to it and start taking it for granted.

If you follow these simple steps, you’ll get a perfect stress-free vacation:

1-Go home

2-Turn off the Computer

3-Do what you want

Note: Step two is strictly required

i think it’s VERY important to go on vacation without doing any work. otherwise, how will you be fresh when you return? so, i give my regular clients 2 weeks notice, with a followup the week prior. We generally have standard due dates, so when i can, i plan my trip around them. And of course, i work to get all those things done before i leave.

and then, when going home, i just brace myself for the literally hundreds of emails i’ll have waiting. sometimes, i’ll even take the day off after i get back from vacation so i can decompress, do laundry, answer emails and catchup without anyone thinking i’m available to do new work.

Great post, Thursday, and very timely for August! If I’m going to be gone for more than a day or two I usually put up an autoresponder (less than that and I just try to check my BlackBerry once or twice a day for emergency client emails and deal with the rest when I return).

But autoresponses can cause problems because sending an autoresponse to a spam email basically lets them know that your email addy is legit so they can continue spamming you. And I’ve had issues with LinkedIn, too, because everytime they send me a notification and get my autoresponse, it freezes my account because it thinks my email is invalid. You can set it up so that your autoresponse only goes to those in your address, but that wouldn’t cover new client inquiries. Still, I think it’s better than leaving people in the dark. I have a few clients who like to go on vacation without autoresponders and without alerting their contractors in advance. I guess they think it’s their right to travel without being accountable, but it sure makes it difficult to complete their projects when questions comes up!

Don’t forget to take a vacation from being hard on yourself. I’m always pushing myself to do my best and to do better, but some times you need a vacation from yourself.

Don’t make too many definite plans on vacation let your natural creativity allow yourself some needed freedom and fun!

As far as I am concerned there is no such thing as a working vacation. I take my laptop on holiday but its not to work, its to use at internet cafes. It allows me to post pictures to facebook and stay in touch with Friends.

The key thing to remember is that just because you are a freelancer doesn’t mean that you do not deserve a holiday.

Clients will understand if you give them notice that you are going away. The key thing though is notice. I tell my clients 6 weeks ahead of my vacation that I am going away. This gives them plenty of time to prepare and get things in order. I also remind them 3 weeks and 1 week before I go.

A handful of clients fall apart if I am not around. Their world literally stops. For these I assign a friend who makes sure they are available to answer any queries or update any websites. I have found that clients are far happier if they know that they will be able to contact someone when I am away, even if it isn’t me. By hiring a friend I know that he won’t try to poach my client while I am away (something that has happened before )

That leaves two things. Informing clients and deadlines. I once made the mistake of going away for 2 weeks and not setting up an auto-responder. All of my current clients knew I was gone. However when a couple of old clients got in touch and I didn’t responded to numerous phone calls or e-mails they were far from happy. I now send out a news letter to all current and previous clients informing them that I am going away.

Regarding deadlines.. if you are web developer I would suggest avoiding any deadline within 2 weeks of your holiday. Things can go wrong, projects can over run, additional tweaks may be needed and bugs may be discovered. If a bug is discovered when you are on holiday the client will no longer be your client. I would also suggest not having a deadline for the week directly after as you will have a weeks+ worth of e-mail to catch up with etc.

I recently took a vacation for a week, and my being a one-project at a time freelancer, I took the following steps before leaving:

1. Pre-planned the project and completed it almost 80% (the most important parts that had to go live) in advance.
2. Told my client I was leaving for a week.
3. Had my laptop with me and worked only at a certain time like around 9 to 10pm alternate nights.
4. Talked/emailed my client in the morning (around 8 to 8:30), alternate days just to make sure we were on the same page.
5. For other emails, kept an auto-responder.

And the best part, I with my family enjoyed the vacation like anything. I never got a complaint from both my client and my hubby and daughter.

Usually, I don’t tell my regular clients that I’m going on vacation. If there’s an issue, then I tell ‘em. Usually they say: “You have your laptop with you on vacation, are you nuts?” so most of the cases the ‘emergency’ can wait until I return from vacation.

When we engage in a more long-term project, we always tell them when we won’t be available and check if this is a problem time-scale wise. Usually, it isn’t.

I never leave without my laptop as I like to edit my vacation pics on the fly, but I don’t work on vacation either. It hasn’t been a problem until now, and I’ve been doing it like this for 5 years.

My father (and business partner) on the other hand had a real issue with ‘disconnecting’ when on vacation, but he recently managed to leave his laptop at home and never felt that refreshes upon his return. So not working on vacation is a good idea in general though…

Nice post a vacation is always necessary and surprisingly at times it almost seems easier to take days off working at a full-time job then it is freelancing. At a full-time job you can plan in advance and the other people can cover you or pick up where you left off, as for freelance everything is depended mainly upon yourself.

Hard part of planning in advance is say you plan a vacation in the upcoming months and work has been slow then all of a sudden 2 weeks before you go you get a call for a big project that can help make up for the lack of work the previous months sometimes its hard to just turn it down but if financial your ok then of course you have no worries.

I practise most of the suggestions already in place by the post, as well as previous comments (it stands to drive the previously-stated point home though: do not schedule deadlines immediately before or after your vacation). A couple of worthwhile added tips to consider (they help me a lot):

In addition to auto-responses, set up a system (filters in Gmail, rules in Outlook, etc.) to forward messages containing the words ‘urgent’ or ‘emergency’ to your person email address. Disable your work address from your phone. This will inevitably mean you will still read the few messages from client’s who say “This isn’t urgent” or “Not an emergency, but when you return…”, but, these messages are few and you will still be notified if anything goes critically wrong. This removes the urge to constantly check email because you know that you will be informed if you need to check.

Get re-inspired on your vacation. Maybe that stunning ocean vista from your hotel balcony is a feeling you want to recreate on a client’s website. Maybe it’s something you want to photograph to add to your portfolio. Maybe it inspires you to finish righting that perfect ad copy. Whatever your chosen freelance profession, inspiration is something that is constantly needed. And, when you’re on vacation, you finally have time to relax and get re-inspired.

It’s important to stay clear from work while on a holiday, but sometimes we like our jobs so much, that proves hard. Why not take the opportunity to network? If you feel you want to do something related to your business, it never hurts to have new contacts and clients globally. Keeping your outlet of working while vacationing pinned down to networking or scouting new talent means that you’re not under deadlines and it’s all very leisurely. There’s no pressure, so you’re still relaxed. It also satisfies your workaholic need in a much healthier way both for your resting time, and your business’ growth.

I think the most important point I stick to is this: don’t rush back into the job when you get home. Avoid shocking your system by trying to put out fires and scheduling meetings before you’ve unpacked. Get back into the pool slowly! Your mind, and your business, will thank you.

I’ve been dreaming about taking a vacation the last few weeks. My perfect idea of a vacation would involve:

- being someplace other than home
- relaxing sightseeing (like walks on the beach or even rides on train or bike)
- working on a fun personal coding project

I know that last one sounds odd. I love writing software, but lately I haven’t been enjoying some of the projects I’ve been working on. It would be fun to write some code and remind myself again WHY I love writing code.

well this is beauty of freelancing you are not bound to certain timings. you can work when ever you like.

but working holidays are bit odd idea. i dont even touch my laptop when i’m on holidays.

I agree with your statement. Still, I’ve got some additions to make:

Plan -2 +2:
When I go on vacation for 10 days, I tell my clients I go on vacation for 14 days – putting 2 days before and 2 days after my vacation.
Why? When I plan to go on Vacation on Saturday I would work until 24 o’Clock on Friday and Saturday would be a lost day because I would be tired and stressed. My solution:
Work regulary on Wednesday, get the rest done on Thursday and relax (and pack ) on Friday, so Im absolutly relaxed on my first day on vacation!
The day after the vacation is for coming home – it’s an absolute must-have for me! The second day after the vacation is for fighting the enourmous inbox to go inbox-zero again.

Really Out Of Touch:
Check the mails only once a day – and set a time for it (like 16 o’Clock).
If you check without a special time and more than once a day you will fall back into your old rythm and check all the time! It will kill your vacation.

Freelance-Alliance:
I have a few friends that are also freelancing, and we have allied for vacations.
If there’s an emergency (that I recived via email or phone) like the server has gone down, one of them has the neccessary data to reboot it properly.
This alliance is really just for emergencys, not for a client who wants to exchange blue and red on their page.

Kind Regards,
Lucas

I’ve never been able to save enough money to take a good vacation…

When I go on vacation I try to do many of the things mentioned in this article.

Another small thing you could do to unwind or relax once in awhile is take a small weekend trip. Pick a time when work is slow or you do not have many busy projects going and take a little trip. You can do some things you usually don’t do and just have some fun. Make sure to leave all work material at home so you can actually relax

For example I’m about ~2 hours from Columbus, OH. So recently as I was doing some errands and felt the need to relax, I ran home and grabbed some clothes and my GF and went up there to visit our local science center and get some good food. It was fun and a nice needed break.

really great and useful post !!

I always plan it ahead and notify my clients in advance when I won’t be available. I don’t bring my work or laptop with me because it should be just a relaxing vacation from work and daily worries. After all that’s what’s vacation for

My advice is just to leave the work behind… notify your clients, pack your bags and off to vacation … no need to follow up on the emails and stuff while on vacation. When you do that you simply train your clients not to respect your R&R time and they will request more work at times when you really don’t want to do it.

Just use your vacation to recharge your batteries and try to find some inspiration in places that you visit. Simple as that and that’s the way I do it

I’ve got some great advice that ties into a vacation I recently took. We had worked on getting a project from a large client for about a year and finally after taking them out to lunch, landed a large project from them.

BIT OF ADVICE #1: At this point I should have realized that there was a good reason why the client was out-sourcing this project instead of doing it in-house.

After planning with the client on how the project would be tackled for about 6 months, we had set aside 2 weeks to work only on this project and notified all of our other clients that there would be a blackout area during those two weeks.

When the time finally arrived to work on this project, guess what – the client was two weeks late getting us the content! So, by the time the two weeks were over, we now had a double workload as our other clients were ready for us to work on their projects again. To complicate matters, various committee members who were in charge of supplying content were all taking vacations, slowing things down even further.

BIT OF ADVICE #2: If I were to accept a large project like this again in the future, I would certainly plan for the unexpected – something that did not even cross my mind until it was too late.

Of course, I had my own vacation planned for after this project ended, the problem was that it simply never ended. I finally told the main contact that I would be handing in the final amount of work that I could possibly fit in before leaving, and they agreed to finish the rest of the project in-house. After tons of set-backs, the day had finally arrived to hand-off this monster (or so I thought). A couple of days into my own vacation, I got a phone call – they needed my help! Of course, I had to answer otherwise the project would sink – they simply could not do it without me, and I knew it. It didn’t ruin my vacation to talk on the phone here and there for 20 minutes at a time, but it did feel less like a vacation. Of course I charged for that time, but that’s a small consolation. When I got back home, I still had to go over to their office to help finalize things!

BIT OF ADVICE #3: When working with committees, I have found that things could be dramatically improved with some simple client education on how the design process works after Microsoft Word.

I’m moving for the second time in my freelance career, putting me in the cold, internet-less world for six days straight! I sent my current clients a standard OOO (Out of Office) notice well in advance, advising clients to move on issues soon or hold off till past a certain date.

This is what they do in their own companies so thus far they haven’t missed a beat.

I also made sure there will be a few checks coming in after my move so I don’t have a dry period, or at least I’ll minimize it.

I will definitely take note of these suggestions. Even when I try to take a vacation it never seems to feel like one. Getting out of touch is probably my biggest issue. You cannot feel like you are on vacation if you are constantly checking emails and answering client calls. Most clients will understand that you are on vacation. There is nothing that is life or death in my business so a few days of waiting will not kill them.
Time management is a good tool to help relax on vacations as well. As long as youo have what you need done when you need to have it done then you will not fall so far behind simply because you decided to take a few days off to enjoy yourself.

I had a few very busy months recently and absolutely HAD to get away and unplug, but my neurotic Type-A personality obsessed about missing an important email from a client.

I wrapped up all my existing projects well before my vacation start date and then I also followed up with all my regular clients. I wanted to touch base with each of them and try to get an impression as to whether any work might be coming my way in the near future. I didn’t tell them I would be on vacation, I just made it seem like a normal “keep in touch” call. I found a few clients who had work they were planning to call me about while I was away, so I immediately scheduled them in for when I got back.

I managed to leave my laptop at home for a week without having a panic attack. I did check my email from a hotel computer, but just once. Sure enough, my advance preparation left me with nothing to worry about.

Great advice. I’ve been trying to figure out how to take a proper vacation for the past 5 years! Hope this helps. Thanks.

I, myself am about to embark on a real vacation…to Spain! And I also plan on leaving the laptop at home and being completely unreachable. I agree with the author, that it’s hard to disconnect as a freelancer since our biggest strength is being able to work anywhere in the world. But we need vacations just like the rest of the work world for our own mental and physical health!

What helped me first and foremost was to find an affordable vacation. I subscribe to Shermans Travel “Top 25″ newsletter: http://www.shermanstravel.com/top25. It sends me the best deals on the web which is where I found http://europeandestinations.com Truly amazing package deals to Europe that you won’t believe!

Plus, I had to have enough money to book the trip, which took months of hard work and diligence in saving. I highly recommend using a separate savings account, automatically investing in it monthly (or more) based on your time frame and goal. I prefer ING (http://ingdirect.com) because you can’t access your money as quickly (2-3 days) which make impulse debits much harder.

Once my goal was set and saving had begun, I needed to generate enough work from my existing and new clients to reach it. I did a lot of cold calling, follow ups with inactive clients and applying on freelance sites to get me the the amount of work I needed to generate income to pay my normal bills and then some. This was a great experience, because now I know what it takes to reach my desired income level and I don’t plan on stopping after the vacation is over.

But oh yes, I will be taking off my freelance cap once I step onto that plane. Oh yes. Europe, watch out.

Over this summer, I took an eleven day trip to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Before heading out, I was a little bit leery of being so far out of touch (for a majority of the trip I didn’t even have a cell phone signal), but the trip turned out to be extremely rewarding and I returned refreshed and on the top of my game. At the time, I only had one client that I was currently working for on a string of projects. I notified him up front two weeks prior to my vacation that I would be out of state for ten or eleven days on vacation and that I would possibly be out of contact for a majority of the time. We discussed and agreed upon a stopping point in the string of projects I was currently working on for him so that there would be no sense of leaving something half finished while I was away. So essentially, it was like I had wrapped up one job, and would simply start a new one after I had returned. Several days prior to my departure I reminded him at the end of each conversation that I would be leaving for vacation and possibly difficult to get a hold of. I told him that the easiest way to get ahold of me should something come up during this time would be through text messaging, because a text message can be sent or received with a much weaker and ever fading cell signal (a very common situation in the Rocky Mountains.) I also made sure to notify anyone who may have needed to get ahold of me during this time of my vacation that I would be taking, provided them with various means of getting ahold of me, promised to get back in touch with them as soon as possible. My client was very understanding about my wanting to take a vacation and was very supportive as well, which was a major stress reliever for me personally. Because of my early preparation for my absence, my vacation was very relaxing, and transitioning back to working after I returned was effortless.

I need one too… *sigh

So many freelancers feel they are at the mercy of their clients, and while sometimes that is true, freelancing is a TWO way street…I cheered when I read the “Don’t agree to inconvenient due dates”. TOO TRUE. You do have the power to make your own life easier, even when a client is involved. Ever since I started taking that concept seriously, my life has grown exponentially more stress-free.

Vacation is really important. Not just for the fun but also for your inspiration. Like most of us, I use to think that the more projects I get the more income I can expect. In a certain way, it’s true but can become a bit cryptic when comes the time you have to plan some rest days.

Personally, I haven’t been on e a vacation for 2 years and I really need to unplug from this endless “client-project-work-deadline” process.

Hopefully, these rules will help me to make the step. Another great inspirational post! Thanks.

I would definitely advocate in favour of letting your clients know well in advance and committing to the time off. There’s a side benefit: the “I’m going to be away in six weeks time” message is a reminder that you exist/are available for work. Even better, it can light a fire and get them to assign work they want done before you go. A little boost in income before your vacation!

I’m on vacation…enough said. The world is not going to end because I took a vacation I desparately needed.

Besides, if my clients can take time off from their jobs, why can’t I?

Great article! I’m just happy to take a vacation at all! I’m learning by not having ‘vacation days’ to use by the end of the year that I should go somewhere even if it’s not too far every 6 weeks. It helps me focus!

Vacation should be vacation, should it not? I know I would have difficulty leaving everything behind though. I agree that it is absolutely imperative that you let clients know well in advance, and like Marlene said, it can get them to get on the ball to roll out their jobs for you.
I imagine the time immediately before the vacation would definitely be the busiest and then you would Really need that time off!

Last Time i went on vacation for 4-5 days :

1) Planned in advance the work to be completed before and after vacation – and did so.
2) Told clients in advance that i wont be available for 5 days for meetings.
3) Made a list of work in progress / tasks to be completed while i was on vacation and assigned the work to another designer to work on at office.
4) Didn’t take the Laptop with me and neither checked emails or called office for work status for 5 days.
5) Enjoyed holidays worry free.

btw : the designer also didnt show up while i was away.

Argh! I use to have the same problem when I went on my first few holidays. Recently I decided to go on a trip with my partner to a lakeside holiday house in the middle of a forrest. No internet. No reception. Lots of great activities.

It was fantastic. Took my camera and my laptop (only to move photos off my camera).

Making sure that you inform all of your clients is a definite must. The last thing you want to do is come back and realise you have 50 emails from your clients who were wanting things done.

Everybody deserves a break, might as well plan a good one!

I have planned to take a vacation between projects, but this was a bad strategy as new projects start as soon as one is finished. No vacation for me this summer – at all! Putting aside time for a vacation is important – my friends are starting to tell me that I need it.

Great ideas! I’m just back from vacation and like James from Men with Pens I discovered that “ignoring” email for 12 days took a total of 3 hours to clean up.

As for those Freelancers who can’t seem to figure out just how to take a vacation, over at Someday Syndrome I offer a free email-based Vacation Clinic – inspired by James who went from not taking a vacation in six years to taking two this summer!

Cheers,

I’m going this sunday for a week off and those points were exactly what I did. Will basically just do simple tasks during the holidays like taking care of some emails, which can be conveniently done with the laptop and a nice cocktail next to the pool!

Good writeup on something we all experience! The ability to work from anywhere at anytime is indeed a blessing and a curse at times. I wouldn’t trade it for anything to be honest, but it definitely has caused a few sighs in my day when all I wanted to do was be done with work for a while. When it comes to vacation, I try to limit myself to a daily quick scan of email and nothing more. I do realize that doing even that can be a slippery slope. =D

How to take vacations seriously? Easy, I went to Patagonia backpacking with my smartphone to stay connected to work.
Hopefully there were NO internet connection NOR mobile reliability! So, I guess is the best place to stay unplugged! Then you come back and tell your clients your phone went down a risk or you almost died in Tierra del Fuego, but thanks God you are back to work

Being a full-time employee and a freelance, my vacations are called “SXSW”, “iPhone Dev Camp”, “Future of Web Apps” and several other conferences…

Very nice info

And Blog!!

Thanksss for sharing!
