How we are dealing with summertime, and you can too.

It’s that time of year when everyone is in holiday mode. Offices blow dust of ”closed” signs and discuss which rosé to choose for the evening. We like Il Mimo by the way.

But for many people, both in our office and yours, it is quite difficult to leave work behind on holiday. We believe that those few precious weeks should be nourished and spent with friends and family. The holiday recharges your creative engine (in the widest sense).

So we have made some office rules for ourselves when leaving for the summer hols. Please read the whole list, we have saved the best for last.

• Turn off roaming. Even better turn off mail altogether on your halfsmart phone.
• Leave your job computer behind. If you absolutely need to write, do it on paper. iPad is this year accepted as sort of paperish.
• Make a personal answer on your phone saying that you are on holiday and are not available. It is rude not to explain to people why you are not answering. So a polite and exact message is a must.
• Create emergency routines. All of us have a personal code word to take us away from that lovely sunshine. Here is how it works. Before leaving the office you inform colleagues that if emergency send a SMS/textmessage that must begin with your ”CODE WORD”. Without it will be ignored as spam. This creates a rather high threshold to actually contact you.

By applying our very analogue guidelines you will be able to enjoy your time away from office better. We believe that this gives us the edge to deliver outstanding and effective digital solution in the autumn/winter.

In the meantime.
Happy summer from the Suddenly family.
