Some people just don't know how to take a vacation—but others sure do and do it with style. Entrepreneur Brad Feld falls into the latter category and describes his various flavors of vacation, from quarterly, disconnected "Spend Time Away" trips, to occasional unplugged "Go Dark" weekends, to "Downshift" time where he limits work to just a couple of hours a day. Not all of us have this kind of flexibility (and vacation time!) but Feld makes the great point: when you set the expectation of work to relaxation ratio before you vacation, it's a better time for everyone.What's A Vacation?

Our productivity blogging pal Merlin Mann says that when you find yourself whining about working on a task or project, take it as a signal to stop and figure out why.
Whining is the white smoke in your tailpipe that lets you know you're burning mental oil. It means you're unconsciously devoting cycles to something that you can't, won't, or shouldn't be spending time thinking about. We've all whined and moaned about that job, relationship, project, and annoying to-do that just sits on our list for weeks pointing and laughing at us. That's when it's time to hit the mechanic instead of, as Merlin says, adding oil to feed the smoke.

When it feels like there are never enough hours in the day to dedicate to all the important areas in your life, it's time to take out the big guns and get to analzying where your day's going. Harvard Business Online has a few recommendations on how to break down your time by role, and then correlate those totals with the reality of your to-do list. It means assigning time estimates to your tasks, and taking a big view of how much time should go to each thing (i.e., six hours a day at work, four hours a day with family, etc.)—which isn't always easy, but can be eye-opening.
