As can be seen in my sidebar, I have a twitter account and usually send several “tweets” each day. When I first started using Twitter I had much less followers and wasn’t following as many people as I am now, and I was happy with that as I was still working out what the service was and it’s uses. These days however, I’m following more people and having more conversations and it has proven useful in the past when asking questions and receiving advice both from people I follow and from others. However, I’ve noticed that some people I’ve had to stop following because of the sheer volume of their tweets has made all the other ones get lost in the crowd.

So after having been away on holiday for 10 days and not checking my email too regularly, (twice it was) I managed to accumulate over 100 blog posts to read in my reader, and also received 76 emails in that time. IT has always been an industry which requires constant reading and for employees to remain in touch with the latest developments, but I thought going on holiday would provide a break for people to get away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. I certainly never thought that I would be accessing work emails whilst away on holiday.
With participating in the blogging course has meant that I received an email each day from that, plus a large number could be deleted without opening but it was still a chore to come home and plough my way through that load. After a quick search on the net, it seems that a lot of us check our work emails when on holiday. Is this ultimately necessary or is there a better way of managing workloads whilst on holiday? I’m sure there are people with a lot more emails and pressures to manage whilst away, so how do they do it?
Also, more people are worried about work and think about it whilst on holiday, and appears to be a growing trend amongst UK workers.
There must be more to life than working surely?
