How can I avoid the mayhem of returning from vacation?

Plan Ahead

Don't you hate when you return back from vacation and find you're spending several hours returning phone calls as well as a zillion emails? One way to alleviate some of these messages would be to change your voice mail message. Alert callers you are unavailable until "return date" and that they may contact "co-worker" for immediate attention. The same rule applies to emails. You can set up an auto-response, which reads the same way. Customers and co-workers will appreciate the fact that you were thoughtful enough to leave forwarding information and won't be left wondering why you haven't returned their call!
