Katie McManus walks through the chaos of returning from vacation: jet lag, laundry, work panic. Her concrete fix: schedule three simple social media posts before you leave so you can stay visible online without thinking about it while you readjust.
What do you do when you come back from vacation? This is one of the most important parts because you know that feeling when you get back from traveling and you feel like you need a vacation from your vacation. And then add to that exhaustion, maybe some jet lag, and maybe like crap ton of laundry that's going to sit on your floor in your suitcase until you get the energy to do it. It'll be like a month down the road and you'll have completely forgotten about the guilt as you step over your suitcases that still have like dirty laundry hanging out of them. Add to all that going back into your business and panicking that you don't remember what you should be doing. It is the literal worst. So here's what you're going to do to set yourself up for success so you do not have a gazillion panic attacks that first week back. First, you're going to create a minimum of three posts that you're going to share on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That week, three of those other days. I don't care if it's Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, whatever cadence you want to do. You're just going to share pictures from your vacation. You're not going to worry about it being clever.
