Short coaching video by Katie McManus advising viewers to document daily work tasks before taking a vacation. She instructs listeners to set a daily 6pm alarm for one week and use it to record every action (emails, calls, content, social comments, webinars) so they don’t forget routine work after time off.

The number one question I get from clients after they come back from vacation is I forgot what I do every single day. How do I get clients? How do I respond to an email? Before you even plan a vacation, you need to document exactly what you do day in and day out. So I want you to open up your phone if you're in a safe place where you can do so. If you're driving, try really, really hard to remember this for when you get somewhere that you can safely do this. And I want you to go into your phone and set an alarm for 6pm every single day for the next week. And in this alarm, I want you to name it, create a list of all the shit I did and I want you to count everything from you commented on People's posts on LinkedIn, you answered a few emails, you had three client calls, you did a few sales calls, you created content, you did a webinar. I want you to just document all of it because I can tell you from personal experience and secondhand experience through my clients that a two week vacation can make you forget half of it.
