Many people use a mobile phone for business. Although it is good to be available almost anytime, there are times you do not want to available to anyone anytime. Especially during your vacations you want to make sure that you only get interrupted for important matters than cannot be resolved without your attention.
I made good experiences with the following procedure:
1) Switch on your voice box:
Change the settings of your mobile phone so that all calls land on the voice box and switch it off. You might eventually have to change the message to the voice box informing callers that you are on vacation until a certain day and that you check your voice box three times a day
2) Listen to the voice box 3 times a day:
Make sure that you check the messages three times a day, in the morning, at noon and in the evening. You can now enjoy your vacation without being on your mobile all the time but still be sure to be informed in case of urgency.
3) Inform your colleagues:
Inform your colleagues and most important business partners about this procedure. In case of urgency they feel comfortable that their message on the voice box will be heard and that you will react.
