In adapting to the new normal of working from home, a lot of people aced it with remote working. Complementing their professional life, people added personal feats of traveling by working from a vacation or the buzz word these days ‘Workations’. Workation in simplest terms means a working vacation; You unwind after finishing work. Now, with fears looming over of another possible lockdown, the search for workation destinations in and around the city spikes up. A workation with family by your side, where you get busy on your work tasks in the day and switch up to play later on has the perks of a work-life balance we all hope to achieve.
A workation with family needs to be thoroughly planned to address the comforts of every family member, those who have to work and those who don’t. At the same time, ensuring privacy, following safety protocols, and hospitality that takes care of everyone will make it an enjoyable experience.
Easy Guide to Plan a Workation
Choosing a Safe Location
It’s imperative to choose a safe location considering the COVID-19 situation. While a lot of you may dream of working from the hills, the government has now made COVID tests mandatory for several states. So pick a place that is nearby and follows all safety and social distancing protocols.
Strong Network Connectivity
One of the pre-requisites of fixing upon a workation destination is a stable internet connection and cell reception. A place with good WiFi and regular electricity will enable a smoother work process. It is wise to choose a private villa vis-a-vis a hotel, where there will be a lot of people chancing upon the free internet connection.
Destination With Activities to Do
A home with a pool, large lawns, gardens or near the beach ensures rejuvenation activities once the laptop shuts down. So pick a place that facilitates your unwinding away from any devices.
