Maximising your annual leave

Annual leave. It's the holy grail isn't it? Personally that's what I used to live for, always needing a holiday in the diary and counting down until I can next put my Out of Office on. But what to do with those precious days? I've never been one to sit at home and curl up on the sofa for a day (although I can see the benefits of the self care), instead I use them to my advantage, get out of my comfort zone and travel somewhere new. Always!

What would you like to do? Where would you like to go? Perhaps you're waiting for that perfect moment to travel. Let me tell you. The perfect time is now. You'll never get this time back. And the biggest regrets people have are often when they didn't "just do it". Yes, travel can be expensive. Especially at the moment with the costs of flights - thanks fuel charges! - but travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer. I truly believe you gain so much when you travel. The cultures, the experiences, the people you meet and the memories. All of it is so important.

Right, I've convinced you that you need to go. You want to go. But how will I fit it all in? Do you constantly wonder how people seem to be off holidaying all the time? Do you wish you could spend longer away from your desk? Well, the answer may be do little chunks here and there, or you can take a look below at my handy tips sheet.

How to maximise your leave for 2024, book these dates: - 2nd to 5th January to get yourself 9 days - 25th March to 28th March and 2nd April to 5th April for 15 days off - 7th May to 10th May for 9 days off - 28th May to 31st May for 9 days off - 27th August to 30th August for 9 days off And wait for it…the best one - 23rd, 24th, 27th, 30th and 31st of December for 12 days off. If you combine this with the January leave you could be laughing all the way into February….kind of!
