In this episode of Productivity Nerd, Kathy tackles a very specific kind of chaos: the “pre-holiday panic”. You know the one — where you're meant to be packing sun cream but instead you're firefighting inbox mayhem and whispering “just one more email” like a caffeinated gremlin.
She shares practical, funny and quietly persuasive advice on how to actually step away from work — without the guilt, the germs, or the inbox avalanche.
Expect tips on:
– Why you should lie (a little) about your out-of-office dates
– How to avoid Friday-at-3pm “just before you go” requests
– The joy of a buffer day — and a vitamin C habit
– And how inbox support can save your holiday — and your sanity
Perfect for anyone who’s ever worked themselves into a frazzled heap the night before flying off “to relax”.
