Things to Do Before Going on Vacation

Most of the world sets goals and makes resolutions all the time, however, very few percents of people actually stick to those resolutions. While it’s entirely possible that many people are being unrealistic with their goals, the number one thing you need to do before going on a vacation is to write down your achievements and goals. Doing this will set you up to be productive and enables you to go into your vacation with a clear direction and positive attitude.

Part of setting realistic goals and priorities is reflecting on what you’ve accomplished in the past. Here are few good questions to ask yourself:

  • How many accounts did you manage?
  • How much in sales volume did you secure? 
  • Did you reduce cost? 
  • How many clients did you interact with? 
  • Did you surpass a quota?
  • Did you manage a team? If so, how many team members did you manage?
  • Did you work with any notable clients or vendors?
  • Did you secure any partnerships?

The answer to each of these questions is something that you accomplished. Be proud of that! You may not know these metrics off the top of your head, so go ahead and calculate them. Do some research and figure out your personal statistics. This will help you see where you are in your role and in your career and will give you perspective on how you can grow and improve.

Next, define what you want to accomplish and achieve when you're back from your vacation. Do a self-assessment and figure out your priorities and then build from there. The idea is to figure out where you want to be in the next few months and how you will get there. Make an outline or a to-do list so you can clearly see the path to your end result. Once you have figured out what you need to accomplish and how to prioritize each task, you can actually get started on accomplishing it.

This works because writing your goals and dreams holds you accountable, and also creates a physical reminder of what you’re working towards. Physically writing your goals down forces both sides of your brain to work together, stimulating a more powerful response and a greater ambition to meet those goals. Keep in mind that if your goal is completely unrealistic in terms of logistics or science, it likely won’t pan out. Set a specific goal that is challenging, but still attainable.

11 Things Smart People Don't Say

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. There are some things you simply never want to say at work. These phrases carry special power: they have an uncanny ability to make you look bad even when the words are true. Worst of all, there’s no taking them back once they slip out. I’m not talking about shocking slips of the tongue, off-color jokes, or politically incorrect faux pas. These aren’t the only ways to make yourself look bad. Often it’s the subtle remarks -- the ones that paint us as incompetent and unconfident -- that do the most damage. No matter how talented you are or what you’ve accomplished, there are certain phrases that instantly change the way people see you and can forever cast you in a negative light. These phrases are so loaded with negative implications that they undermine careers in short order.

The Large Magellanic Cloud comes alive in a 240 megapixel image

Ciel Austral is a team of five very enthusiastic amateur French astronomers, Jean Claude Canonne, Philippe Bernhard, Didier Chaplain, Nicolas Outters, and Laurent Bourgon, who own and operate their own telescope in northern Chile. The 14400×14200 image was stitched together from nearly 4,000 separate images that required 1,060 hours (6.3 weeks) of exposures shot from July 2017 to January 2019. It took two computers eight days to stitch together the photos, and a further two months to process the 620 gigabytes of data. If you could warp yourself to the Magellanic Cloud, it wouldn't look like the dreamy, painterly image pictured above. Much of the image is made up of false colors that show the different elements present in the image. Different colors represent hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen III, emphasizing the cloud-like high-density gas nebulae in a way that a standard visible light image can't. The image shows the birth and death of stars and the aftermath, including super...
