What to Present to Your Boss?
Buying a Christmas gift for your boss can be stressful and take a while. To avoid anxiety, keep the advice of Patricia Rossi, a business etiquette coach, in mind:

Why to Disconnect at the Holidays?
Probably, you’re leaving the office for a while this holiday season to visit family and friends or travel around the country. Either way, don’t worry about the working tasks or else you won’t rest well. The art of unplugging is something that you should master, as the numerous study results suggest. Here is why you should avoid being in contact outside of the office:
1. Obviously, you become more productive if you take some time off.
2. You will feel greater job satisfaction if you rest properly.
3. Every additional 10 hours of vacation help employees improve year-end performance by 8%.
4. Overtime can double the chances of a major depression episode.
5. A change of scene makes people more creative.
How to Relax Healthy and Safely?
Since taking off is healthy for your body and relaxing for your mind, make the most of your vacation following the hints below:
• Don’t use your work phone, email, and messengers during the weekend.
• Escape somewhere to change the scene.
• Enjoy your hobby and do something that you like instead of what you must do.
• Delegate your work tasks while you are on vacation.
• Do sports, meditate, and spend time outdoors.
